This article presents information about the book "The Seven Storey Mountain," by Thomas Merton. The book is not a great spiritual autobiography. One supposes that Frater M. Louis would consider himself guilty of the most sinful pride to think of it as the full and worldly life which he led before his conservation seems to have been quite callow and jejune. But the author does have goodness, innocence of heart and sensitivity. He can love and he can praise. His family, his friends, his teachers, France a great deal, England somewhat less all are commemorated with honest warmth of heart.
