Confessions (AmazonClassics Edition)

In Confessions, regarded as the first true Western autobiography, Saint Augustine of Hippo lays bare his heart, body, and soul. In this unguarded prayer, a fallible Augustine admits to the indiscretions, selfishness, and licentious obsessions of his youth. He reveals a man of contradictory desires and beliefs, a regretful libertine torn between sin and morality on a spiritual journey toward his conversion to Christianity.

Meditative and philosophical, personal yet universal, Confessions has a surprising modernity - nearly sixteen hundred years after it was written - and still resonates, influencing and shaping our discourse on living a life filled with meaning.

Revised edition: Previously published as Confessions, this edition of Confessions (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Some things Hidden

At first I thought it was confusing. There was a lot of word jumble that needed to be unjumbling. As I went on it became clearer what was being said. All the way to the end where he, St Augustine, was speaking clearly and plainly. All with thought provoking things to ponder on. ❤️🧎🏻‍♀️
