Anotace knihy

Confessions is the profound autobiographical masterpiece of Aurelius Augustine of Hippo, penned in Latin between AD 397 and 400. This seminal work, heralded as the first autobiography in Western literature, intimately explores Augustine's journey from a life marked by sin and spiritual restlessness to his transformative embrace of Christ.

In this modernized edition, we have preserved the essence of Augustine's original narrative while adapting the language for contemporary readers. Based on the public domain translation by Albert C. Outler, our approach has been meticulously faithful to the original Latin texts, informed by a comparative analysis of various translations.

While maintaining the profound introspective nature of Augustine's confession, this edition has been thoughtfully abridged to enhance readability and narrative flow. Importantly, the original paragraph numbering is retained, providing a clear reference for readers and ensuring compatibility with academic studies. The abridged sections are transparently indicated by the paragraph numbering, allowing readers to navigate the text with ease and clarity.

Confessions in this modernized form invites a new generation of readers to immerse themselves in Augustine's timeless story of sin, and redemption, presented with a freshness that bridges centuries.
