«Un tiempo para callar» is the travelogue by Patrick Leigh Fermor, published by Editorial Elba in paperback (142 pages, in Spanish).
In the 1950s, Patrick Leigh Fermor seeks calm and silence to write his first book in several European monasteries: a Benedictine abbey in Normandy, Solesmes, the Grande Trappe, and the abandoned monasteries of Cappadocia. The work portrays contemplative life, its rituals, and the profound impact of these places on the author.
It is number 2 in the Elba collection; originally published in 1953 as «A Time to Keep Silence», with translation by Dolores Payás.
For readers of travel literature and memoirs interested in spirituality, silence, and monastic life.
Sir Patrick Michael Leigh Fermor was an English writer, scholar, soldier and polyglot. He played a prominent role in the Cretan resistance during the Second World War, and was widely seen as Britain's greatest living travel writer, on the basis of books such as A Time of Gifts (1977). A BBC journalist once termed him "a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene".
