Description

Thais by Anatole France is set in a desert landscape where hermits live in huts made from branches and clay. These solitary dwellers have built their homes near churches, each topped with a cross, which serve as gathering places for the monks during festivals. In addition to these communal spaces, there are monasteries along the banks of the Nile River where cenobites live in separate cells and meet only occasionally to enjoy their solitude. This unique arrangement allows them to balance their individual pursuits with periods of communal celebration and spiritual practice. This book offers a glimpse into the lives of these desert dwellers, exploring the ways in which they have chosen to live in harmony with themselves and their surroundings.
