In the autumn of 1892 a young Russian peasant named Simeon from the province of Tambov was drawn to that ancient repository of Orthodox spirituality, Mt Athos. He had done his military service and now came to the Russian Monastery of St Penteleimon, to embark on long years of spiritual combat lasting until his death in 1938. Although he was unlearned and ignorant in the ordinary sense, tireless inner strivings gave him authentic personal experience of Christianity identical with that of many of the early ascetic Desert Fathers. The first part of this book is a remarkable account of St Silouan's life, personality and teaching by his spiritual disciple Archimandite Sophrony. Part two comprises the writing of Silouan, originally penciled in laborious, unformed characters on odd scraps of paper. In 1988 Staretz Silouan was placed in the canon of saints by the Ecumencial Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church.
