by of Hippo Augustine

"Les confessions de saint Augustin, évêque d'Hippone: précédées de sa vie par S.…" by Augustine of Hippo is an autobiographical work written between 397 and 401. In this spiritual memoir, Augustine recounts his journey toward God, confessing his sins and youthful transgressions while proclaiming divine glory. From childhood mischief to intellectual wanderings through Manichaeism and rhetoric, he traces his path through passionate attachments, philosophical debates, and profound doubt. The narrative culminates in his conversion, baptism, and the deaths of his son and beloved mother, before shifting into theological meditation on the nature of God and human existence.
