A Time To Keep Silence

A wonderful insight into the calm and contemplative world of the monastery from a premier travel writer.

From the French Abbey of St Wandrille to the abandoned and awesome Rock Monasteries of Cappadocia in Turkey, the celebrated travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor studies the rigorous contemplative lives of the monks and the timeless beauty of their monastic surroundings. In his occasional retreats, the peaceful solitude and the calm enchantment of the monasteries was passed on as a kind of 'supernatural windfall' which A Time to Keep Silence so effortlessly records.

'The English language is still a superb instrument in the hands of a writer who has a virtuoso skill with words, a robust aesthetic passion, an indomitable curiosity and a rapturous historical imagination' - Observer

'The genius of Patrick Leigh Fermor is a many splendoured thing. Soldier, traveller, writer, Phihellene ... he has already dazzled and delighted ... It is some time since more truth and beauty were distilled into a hundred pages' - Stewart Perowne

'A brilliant book' - Sunday Times

'Delightful ... His book is not only an admirable piece of travel writing; it is also a brilliant piece of human exploration' - New Statesman

'Introspection, history, reportage have their balanced places in a well-written book ... measured and lucent' - Sunday Times

'Patrick Leigh Fermor is a stylish, superb master of words, which he savours like the choicest vintage' - The Times

'What a delight it is to read a book so beautifully and sensitively written' - Observer

'A most successful attempt to portray the reactions of the man of the world (in the literal sense) when confronted with the monastic life' - Daily Telegraph

'Delightful, lucidly written work of introspection that evokes the hardship and the rewards of the solitary life, as well as its beauty' - The Glasgow Herald

'John Murray is doing the decent thing and reissuing all of Leigh Fermor's main books ... But what else would you expect from a publisher whose commitment to geography is such that for more than two centuries it has widened our understanding of the world?' - Geographical Magazine

'A pleasure and an instruction to read' - Irish Times

'Bringing the landscape alive as no other writer can, he uses his profound and eclectic understanding of cultures and peoples ... to paint vivid pictures - nobody has illuminated the geography of Europe better' - Geographical Magazine

Love it !
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: A. Charcoal Yuzu Mint
I ordered Boka Fluoride-Free Toothpaste because I wanted a natural alternative without fluoride. It has a pleasant, mild mint flavor that isn’t overpowering, though I have to say it has a slight taste that reminds me of a banana peel kind of unique but not unpleasant. The toothpaste has a smooth texture and cleans well without being harsh or drying. After using it for a few weeks, I’ve noticed my teeth feel fresh and my gums aren’t irritated at all. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a fluoride-free toothpaste that still gives you a clean, fresh mouth. I’m happy with this product and plan to keep using it.

Kid and mom and dental professional approves. P.S get the floss too.
My toddler loves this toothpaste. He gets so excited when he sees me load up his toothbrush for the evening. I like that it is fluoride free so I don’t have to worry about him eating it. Because he will, because he is 16 months old. I love that it still has the remineralizing component (anti-cavity, strong enamel) of the nano-hydroxyapatite. As a dental hygienist (and mom) this is important to me. Personally… the vanilla cardamom is not my favorite flavor. I wanted to try out the limited edition and I like cardamom (just not in toothpaste apparently) However, my son loves it! Boka has lots of different flavors I’m sure we will try over time. I’m sure I will find one I like better. P.S Boka floss is amazing. I recommend it to many of my patients, and I use it at home.

Torn About Whether to Keep Using
I bought the Vanilla Cardamon flavor, because I'm allergic to mint, and it makes my mouth swell. It tastes nice. The "flavor" doesn't last a long time, so you don't necessarily get that fresh breath feeling. The toothpaste works fine. There seems to be some controversy over whether Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste really protects teeth as well as fluoride, but I know some people swear by it. Obviously, there is also lot of controversy regarding fluoride and whether it's healthy, so I get why this might be a better option for some. I've been using it for about a year, and I got a fairly bad cavity recently, but of course, this is just anecdotal evidence. I'm not sure whether I'll keep using it or not.

Great for sensitive teeth
Size: Pack of 3, 4 Ounce, Set name: E. Ela Mint, Coco Ginger, Lemon Lavender
If you have sensitive teeth, these are great. I had prescription toothpaste and couldn’t get it anymore and picked this up. It’s helped tremendously. No different than normal toothpaste consistency-wise but the flavors are the best.

Truly works and worth every penny.
Size: Pack of 3, 4 Ounce, Set name: E. Ela Mint, Coco Ginger, Lemon Lavender
This is a game changer. All other toothpastes should pack up and close shop. I don’t know what I Was using before, but it was not toothpaste. This is the only toothpaste you should be using.
