1. "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." – The Confessions of Saint AugustineOne of the most important and inventive pieces of Latin literature is Augustine's Confessions.
Reflecting on his life and the process of remembering and understanding life, they were written in the author's early forties during the final years of the fourth century A.D. and his first years as a bishop.
Infancy and speech development, school life, sexual desire and teenage rebellion, close friendships, and intellectual inquiry are all topics covered in Books I–IV. Using all of the reading materials that influenced his thinking, including the Bible, Virgil and Cicero, and Neoplatonism, Augustine developed and examined his history. In addition to explaining Augustine's theological and philosophical inquiries into the nature of God and humanity, this volume, which is intended to be accessible to those who are unfamiliar with Augustine, exposes readers to the language echoes and allusions of his brilliant and variegated Latin.
