The Northern Thebaid: Monastic Saints of the Russian North

Illustrated with rare pictures from old Russian books and magazines, this book chronicles the lives of a number of holy men and women of the Russian forests, presenting the Orthodox monastic tradition which inspired them and which is still alive today for those who would follow in their footsteps. This edition is a facsimile of the original, which was hand-printed by Fr. Seraphim Rose and his monastic brothers in the mountain forests of Northern Califonia.
