Por primera vez desde 1676, se publica una reedición comentada de las Cartas para el ejercicio de la oración mental de Miguel de Molinos. Su autor, la figura más importante del Quietismo español, indica los pasos para el vacío interior mediante la suspensión del deseo como medio para alcanzar la paz y de ahí la contemplación: la mística unión. A medio camino entre el cristianismo y el budismo, en pleno barroco europeo, estas Cartas suponen un desarrollo en clave más pedagógica de su Guía espiritual, que hubo que esperar hasta 1935 para ver reeditada, y de su Defensa de la contemplación, que no se reeditaron hasta 1983.
