It puts a glaring spotlight on the life of one individual to show how all lives have meaning that is universal & eternal. In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine tells the story of his sinful youth & his conversion to Christianity. He describes his ascent from a humble farm in North Africa to a prestigious post in the Roman Imperial capital of Milan, his struggle against his own overpowering sexuality, his renunciation of secular ambition & marriage, & the recovery of the faith his mother had taught him during his earliest years. Augustine's concerns are often strikingly contemporary, & the confessional mode he invented can be seen everywhere in writing today. Grounded in her command of Latin as it was written & spoken in the ancient world, Sarah Ruden's translation is a bold departure from its predecessors?& the most historically accurate translation ever. Stylistically beautiful, w/ no concessions made to suit later theology & ritual, Ruden's rendition will give readers a startling & illuminating new perspective on one of the central texts of Christianity. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A translation of [Augustine's] masterwork that does justice both to him & to his God . . . Repeated small acts of attention to the humble, human roots of Augustine's imagery of his relations to God enable Ruden to convey a living sense of the Being before Whom we find him transfixed in prayer" -NYRB "Delightfully readable . . . In this lively translation filled with vivid, personal prose, Ruden introduces readers to a saint whom many will realize they only thought they knew. Approaching her subject w/ deep religious & historical knowledge, [Ruden] chooses to translate Augustine as a performative, engaging storyteller rather than a systematic theologian." -Publishers Weekly * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: SARAH RUDEN was educated at the University of Michigan, Johns Hopkins, & Harvard, from which she graduated w/ a Ph.D. in classical philology. She has translated six books of classical literature, including 'Lysistrata', 'The Golden Ass', & 'The Aeneid', & has also translated Aeschylus's 'Oresteia' for the Modern Library collection 'The Greek Plays'. Her translation of Augustin's 'Confessions' is her first book-length translation of sacred literature. Her articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Books & Culture, & other magazines. She is a winner of a Guggenheim fellowship & a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, & is the author of "Paul Among the People: The Apostle Reinterpreted & Reimagined in His Own Time" & "The Face of Water: A Translator on Beauty & Meaning in the Bible", as well as a book of poetry, "Other Places". Ruden is a visiting scholar at Brown University & lives in Hamden, Connecticut. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
