FROM THE PUBLISHER

At the heart of the quest for spiritual identity are found Thomas Merton's illuminating insights-leading from an awareness of the false and illusory self to a realization of the true self.

For twenty-five years Merton's Palace of Nowhere has been the standard for exploring, reflecting on, and understanding this rich vein of Merton's thought. Dog-eared, tattered, underlined copies are found on the bookshelves of spiritual searchers everywhere. Now this Silver Anniversary edition brings this classic to a whole new generation.
