Description: "In every age and every nation of the Western World since
Augustine's death some fifteen hundred years ago, The Confessions have
been acknowledged as one of mankind's great literary treasures. Into this
tapestry of a great soul are woven the strands of all man's great concerns:
the psychic impulses that snare us in selfishness, the ethical conflict
between good and evil, the religious quest for God's radiant love."
