Conversation with Nicolas Diat and, in the final part, with the superior of the Grande Chartreuse. It deals with the need for silence for the interior life and is divided into five parts, in addition to the introduction and the prologue: I. Silence in the face of the noise of the world; II. God does not speak, but his voice is clear; III. Silence, mystery and the sacred; IV. The silence of God before the scourge of evil; V. Like a cry in the desert (the meeting at the Grande Chartreuse).

A very advisable book for people with a good theological formation and with a certain habit of spiritual life, profound, meticulous, from which comes a great love for God, for the Church and the desire to recover what is essential - the sense of adoration and contemplation - for the good of souls and to overcome the crisis of relativism, materialism and indifference on the part of today's society.
