Scope and Contents
This is Merton's only premonastic prose work, a novel about his views on peace and war, written before he entered a Trappist monastery. There is a dreamlike or nightmarish quality to the story, heightened by the use of a wierd composite language, a mixture of English and several languages. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
