Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an evocative memoir from the author's time spent studying at a monastery in the early 20th century. The monastery, a former Franciscan friary that is largely deserted, provides the backdrop for the author's nostalgic journey through his youth and education. The book offers a unique perspective on both the Catholic Church and the region of Portugal it is set during a period of vast social and political change. The author, who grew up in a family of minor nobility, is surrounded by a cast of vivid characters including the kindly humanist priest who teaches him Latin and a young girl from a neighboring family who captures his youthful heart. Ultimately, this book is a meditation on the passing of time and the enduring power of memory. It captures the essence of life in a forgotten corner of the world and the ways in which the past shapes the present. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
