Produktbeschreibung
The Interior Castle, in its complete edition, presents a crystalline metaphor of the soul as a many chambered castle whose seven mansions chart progress from first conversion to nuptial union. Teresa's lucid Castilian prose weds homely images to precise mystical theology, offering a map for prayer, self knowledge, and discernment. Composed amid the Counter Reformation, it balances bold experience with doctrinal sobriety and addresses a community of learners in a dialogic, pastoral voice. Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582), Carmelite reformer and foundress, wrote the Castle in 1577 under obedience while facing illness, travel, and ecclesial scrutiny. Seasoned by visions, administrative labor, and friendship with John of the Cross, she distills hard won counsel on humility, perseverance, and psychological realism for the formation of her nuns. This volume is indispensable for theologians, spiritual directors, literary historians, and seekers who desire a reliable grammar of contemplation. It offers criteria for discerning consolations and locutions, practical steps toward recollection and quiet, and sober warnings against illusion, rewarding slow reading, communal study, and lifelong return. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
