MERTON, THOMAS. — No Man Is An Island.

Since every human being, as part of mankind, belongs to the mystical body whose central reality is "God's love living and acting in all beings", no man is entirely alone. Thus the book's title, taken from John Donne's famous passage". Pp.xxii/233, spotting to closed page edges not affecting text.
