The Shutters of Silence: The Romance of a Trappist is a novel written by George Brown Burgin in 1903. The story follows the life of a young man named Brother Ambrose, who joins a Trappist monastery in France to escape the pain of a failed love affair. The Trappists are a strict order of monks who live in silence and solitude, dedicating themselves to prayer and manual labor.As Brother Ambrose becomes more deeply immersed in the monastic life, he struggles with his own desires and doubts. He finds himself drawn to a young woman he meets outside the monastery walls, and begins to question whether he has truly found peace or simply run away from his problems.The novel explores themes of love, faith, and the search for meaning in life. It also provides a vivid portrayal of the daily routines and practices of the Trappist order, including their strict adherence to silence and their devotion to manual labor.Overall, The Shutters of Silence is a thought-provoking and engaging work of fiction that offers a unique glimpse into the world of a Trappist monk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
