Amar y vivir el testamento espiritual de Merton
Amar y vivir es una recopilacion de siete textos breves y esenciales centrados en los problemas basicos de nuestro tiempo: la falta de autenticidad en lo individual y la ausencia de solidaridad ?de genuino amor- en lo colectivo. Recopilados postumamente por Naomi Burton Stone, vieja amiga del autor, y por Patrick Hart, companero de Merton y como el monje trapense, constituyen un autentico testamento espiritual, una vigorosa llamada de atencion en un momento en el que se ha vuelto perentoria la necesidad de sustituir los falsos valores de la sociedad de consumo por el redescubrimiento del yo interior, a traves de una soledad y un silencio que son el primer paso hacia una autentica comunicacion.

Thomas Merton (January 31, 1915 – December 10, 1968) was a 20th century American Catholic writer. A Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky, he was a poet, social activist and student of comparative religion. In 1949, he was ordained to the priesthood and given the name Father Louis. Merton wrote more than 70 books, mostly on spirituality, social justice and a quiet pacifism, as well as scores of essays and reviews, including his best-selling autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948), which sent scores of disillusioned World War II veterans, students, and even teen-agers flocking to monasteries across US, and was also featured in National Review's list of the 100 best non-fiction books of the century. Merton was a keen proponent of interfaith understanding. He pioneered dialogue with prominent Asian spiritual figures, including the Dalai Lama, D.T. Suzuki, the Japanese writer on the Zen tradition, and the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Merton has also been the subject of several biographies.
