The Confessions of Saint Augustine

The Classic Autobiography of the Man Who Journeyed From Sin to Sainthood

Plot

In every age and every nation of the Western World since Augustine's death some fifteen hundred years ago, The Confessionshave been acknowledged as one of mankind's great literary treasures. Into this tapestry of a great soul are woven the strands of all man's vital concerns- the psychic impulses that snare us in selfishness, the ethical conflict between good and evil, the religious quest for God's radiant love. To his forceful translation, Rex Warner brings all his poetic skill and scholarly tact, creating an English version of The Confessionsthat speaks directly and intimately to the modern heart and mind.
