«Confessions» is the autobiographical work of Saint Augustine of Hippo, published by Gallimard in paperback (598 pages, in French).
In this work, Augustine narrates his life from childhood to his conversion to Christianity, with a sincere look at his passions, errors and search for truth. Written as a long prayer addressed to God, the narrative combines personal memory, examination of conscience and theological reflection, and has become an essential reference of introspection and of Western Christian literature.
French translation by Robert Arnauld d'Andilly, edition presented by Philippe Sellier and established by Odette Barenne, in the Folio classique collection.
Work of interest for readers of philosophy, Christian spirituality and classics of autobiography.
Augustine of Hippo was a Christian theologian and philosopher from Thagaste, Numidia Cirtensis and the Bishop of Hippo Regius. He is generally regarded as one of the most influential philosophers in the history of the Western world, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period.
