They Speak by Silences

These readings were born in the silence and solitude of a Charterhouse, and their very anonymity is part of that silence. They were never intended for publication; collected and published after the author's death, all we know of him is that he held various positions of authority in the Carthusian Order concerning the direction of souls. They Speak by Silences was first published in French in 1948, and has since allowed Carthusian wisdom and spirituality to reach the widest possible audience. This new, and widely requested, edition carries on the tradition. It will provide perfect material for daily reading and reflection for newcomers to Carthusian spiritually and, equally, for those who have already discovered the riches it has to offer.
