Confessions : a new translation

Augustine, of Hippo, Saint, 354-4302019
Books
No modern, well-versed literature lover can call their education complete without having read Augustine's 'Confessions'. One of the most original works of world literature, it is the first autobiography ever written, influencing writers from Montaigne to Rousseau, Virginia Woolf to Stephen Greenblatt. It is here that we learn how one of the greatest saints in Christendom overcame a wild and reckless past.
