About this title: The first of seven volumes of Thomas Merton's collected journals, these entries covers the years 1939-1941. They trace his life as a young, pre-monastic man, as a Greenwich Village graduate student, his ambitions to be published, and the probing questions that would lead him inexorably to find his true vocation.

"Thomas Merton wrote the clearest, most sincere, important works of Christian spirituality of the 20th century. This is the first of his lengthy series of journals (of which dozens are published.) This is definitely early Merton: opinionated in literature, conflicted about his future, and deep in study of Catholic theology and saints. Intelligent and honest analysis of the world that, though it was written at the onset of WWII, doesn't feel outdated because Merton's focus is on the underlying causes in the world, rather than the events themselves."
