Paternità è una storia globale e culturale dell'essere padri: un racconto che attraversa i millenni e le nazioni per mostrarci come nel nostro passato l'amore per i figli sia stato costantemente legato alla fondazione di un'autorità; e come, a partire dal modo in cui ridefiniremo questo rapporto, dipenderà il futuro delle nostre società. Mettere al mondo un figlio non ha significato sempre essere «padre», almeno nel senso che attribuiamo noi, ai giorni nostri e in Occidente, a questo concetto.

It is difficult to treat of the virtue of the soul, which is called Continence, in a manner fully suitable and worthy; but He, whose great gift this virtue is, will help our littleness under the burden of so great a weight. For He, who bestows it upon His faithful ones when they are continent, Himself gives discourse of it to His ministers when they speak. Lastly, of so great a matter purposing to speak what Himself shall grant, in the first place we say and prove that Continence is the gift of God. We have it written in the Book of Wisdom, that no one can be continent, unless God grant it.

Pourquoi "Les Confessions" ont-elles fait date ? Parce qu'elles sont porteuses d'une double puissance inaugurale. Celle d'un style tout d'abord, dont Bossuet se réclamera treize siècles plus tard : une "prose poétique" incantatoire, hydraulique et entêtante. Puis celle d'un genre, l'autobiographie : le premier récit rétrospectif d'un "moi" de l'histoire de la littérature occidentale, dont Rousseau s'inspira plus tard.

The City of God is the usual English translation of the most influential work written in the fifth century. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, wrote it between 413 and 426. Augustine argued that Christianity was not the cause of the empire’s collapse. He turned the gaze from the city of Rome to the City of God, in the spiritual life of true believers.

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.
