«Le Rêve cistercien» is the historical essay by Léon Pressouyre, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (144 pages, in French).
Léon Pressouyre explains the spiritual adventure of the Cistercians, begun in 1098 in search of a perfect monastic life with no concessions to their era. He shows how that ideal, still alive in some seven thousand monks and nuns, went beyond the monasteries and transformed man's relationship with nature, society and art from the twelfth century.
Published in 1990; number 95 of the Découvertes Gallimard collection.
For readers interested in the history of the Cistercians, medieval monasticism and religious heritage.
