Born in the Castilian town of Avila in 1515, Teresa entered the Carmelite convent of the Incarnation when she was twenty-one. Tormented by illness, doubts and self-recrimination, she gradually came to recognize the power of prayer and contemplation - her spiritual enlightenment was intensified by many visions and mystical experiences, including the piercing of her heart by a spear of divine love. She went on to found seventeen Carmelite monasteries throughout Spain. Teresa always denied her own saintliness, however, saying in a letter: 'There is no suggestion of that nonsense about my supposed sanctity.' This frank account is one of the great stories of a religious life and a literary masterpiece - after Don Quixote, it is Spain's most widely read prose classic.

我觉得她只是癫痫的幻觉。

仅仅是上课要求而已。我反正是不知所云

充满对上帝极度而疯狂的爱，经常抑制不住情感而从叙述转到一段对上帝热情赞美，还有各种超自然现象和各种奇迹。把上帝的恩典比作浇灌花园的比喻有点意思。此书此人被推崇的经历可看做天主教的一种宣传。
