Notes Sof cover; Dutch language manuscript translation of "The Sign of Jonas" as translated by Stan Broos. The publication of the Dutch language book was never completed and Merton himself may have revealed why. Here is what Merton says in a letter to Fr Charles Dumont: "Thank you for your kind words about Jonas. It is a problematical book in the Order. Many have not liked it. I did not expect them to. Dom Leclercq thinks it will not be too well liked in Europe either. The Dutch publishers are afraid to bring out a translation. The book, they say, is not phlegmatic enough for Holland. In that case I shall have to resign myself to the loss of Holland, as I am not at all phlegmatic." Merton, Thomas; Hart, Patrick (1990-11-14). The School of Charity: The Letters Of Thomas Merton On Religious Renewal & Spiritual Direction (p. 67). Macmillan. Kindle Edition. Thank you to bibliographer Patricia Burton who passed along information on this text.
