Résumé
Carthusians are contemplative monastics who live in community but spend most of their days alone, wearing hair shirts, practicing self-flagellation and eating just one meal a day from mid-September to Easter. Maguire followed the lives of five young men who… entered St. Hugh's Charterhouse in England between July 1960 and March 1961. As they work, pray and live in solitude, they discover not only God but also themselves. Explicit descriptions of violence. c2006.
