Confessiones by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine
"Confessiones" by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine is an autobiographical work written between AD 397 and 400. Considered the first Western autobiography, this thirteen-book masterpiece chronicles Augustine's journey from a sinful youth to his conversion to Christianity. Written as prayers to God, Augustine reflects on his moral failures, sexual sins, and struggles with Manichaeism and astrology. Through intimate confessions and philosophical meditations, he explores how his restless heart found peace in faith,
guided by figures like Saint Ambrose and his devoted mother Monica. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
