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.

The Confessions of St. Augustine is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace. Writing as a sinner, not a saint, Augustine shares his innermost thoughts and conversion experiences, and wrestles with the spiritual questions that have stirred the hearts of the thoughtful since time began.

In his own day the dominant personality of the Western Church, Augustine of Hippo today stands as perhaps the greatest thinker of Christian antiquity, and his Confessions is one of the great works of Western literature. Now modern listeners will have easier access to St. Augustine's deeply personal meditations. Chadwick's lucid translation and helpful introduction clear the way for a new experience of this classic.

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.
