""Perhaps the greatest testament of personal devotion published in this century."" — The New York Times

A powerful journal of poems and spiritual meditations recorded over several decades by a universally known and admired peacemaker. A dramatic account

of spiritual struggle, Markings has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers since

it was first published in 1964.

Markings is distinctive, as W.H. Auden remarks in

his foreword, as a record of ""the attempt by a professional man of action to unite

in one life the via activa and the via contemplativa."" It reflects its author's efforts

to live his creed, his belief that all men are equally the children of God and that

faith and love require of him a life of selfless service to others. For Hammarskjöld,

""the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action."" Markings is

not only a fascinating glimpse of the mind of a great man, but also a moving spiritual

classic that has left its mark on generations of readers.
