Acceptable in Fair jacket. Book Octavo, hardcover, good reading copy in edgeworn white dj. 222 pp. A record of Hammarskjold's spiritual life--his commitment to the way of the Cross. Translated from the Swedish by Leif Sjoberg and W. H. Auden; Foreword by Auden. Secretary General of the U. N. he saw his life as a summons and had a premonition of his own death.
This is my all time favorite book. Sometimes I feel like he has written exactly what I have felt during passages of my own life. The man was genius and alone.

Markings by Dag Hammarskjold
The book has many written thoughts that can be reviewed in your memory over and over again. Dag Hammarskjold was an unusual, sensitive human being. And I found his book Markings deeply moving.
