Více o knize

Exploring themes of sin, redemption, and faith, this seminal work offers a profound insight into Augustine's transformation from a life of indulgence to one devoted to Christianity. Written in his early forties, it provides a reflective account of his upbringing in Algeria and experiences at the Imperial court of Milan, highlighting his inner conflicts and spiritual awakening. As one of the earliest autobiographies, it serves not only as a personal narrative but also as a deep meditation on the Christian journey and the challenges faced in pursuit of a virtuous life.
