Between World War II and Vatican II, as Italy struggled to rebuild after decades of Mussolini's fascism, an eleventh-century order of contemplative monks in the Apennines were urged by Thomas Merton to found a daughter house on the rugged coast of California. A brilliant but world-weary ex-Jesuit, who had recently withdrawn from a high-intensity public life to go into reclusion at the ancient Sacro Eremo of Camaldoli, was tapped for the job. Based on notes kept for over sixty years by an early American novice at New Camaldoli Hermitage, The Hermits of Big Sur tellsthe compelling story of what ...

Mt. Athos has seen, in the last hundred years, a period of prosperity, up to the early part of this century, then a painful decline, followed by a new flourishing of both vocations and influence in the wider Orthodox world, including America.

The details of this struggle and this pursuit may be found in this newly-translated collection of eighty-two letters to numerous...
