Abstract
Abstract Thomas Merton was born of a New Zealand father and an American mother in the Midi region (Prades) of France. Merton was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1938, while he was a student at Columbia. Three years later he became a Trappist monk at the abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky. His autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948), became an international success not only because of its significant statement about monastic spirituality but also because of its telling account of the spiritual condition of the times.
