TULIP AND THE POPE, THE(ISBN=9780375712906) 英文原版 umd mobi chm 夸克云 免费 azw3 下载 pdf

　　The story of novelist and poet Deborah Larsen's young

womanhood, The Tulip and the Pope is both an exquisitely

crafted spiritual memoir and a beautifully nuanced view of life in

the convent.In midsummer of 1960, nineteen-year-old Deborah shares

a cab to a convent. She and the teenage girls with her, passionate

to become nuns, heedless of all they are leaving behind, smoke

their last cigarettes before entering their new lives. In the same

artful prose that distinguished her novel The White,

Larsen's memoir lets us into the hushed life of the convent. She

captures the exquisite peace she found there, as well as the

extreme constriction of the rules and her gradual awareness of all

that she is missing. Eventually the physical world—the lush tulip

she remembers seeing as a girl, the snow she tunneled in, and even

the mystery of sex—begins to seem to her an alternative theater for

a deep understanding and love of God.
