Augustine ; a new translation by Sarah Ruden
Summary
In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine tells the story of his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. He describes his ascent from a humble farm in North Africa to a prestigious post in the Roman Imperial capital of Milan, his struggle against his own overpowering sexuality, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and the recovery of the faith his mother had taught him during his earliest years. Augustine<U+2019>s concerns are often strikingly contemporary, and the confessional mode he invented can be seen everywhere in writing today
