Samenvatting | The life of monks and nuns is not well understood today. Our experience of the rush of the contemporary world often awakens an inner longing for rest and spiritual depth.

This book brings together, often in matching spreads, many of the images he has taken of monks and nuns at work, at prayer, at play and in the service of their communities.

A selection of these photographs forms part of the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert museum, London. |
