All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. &&LI&&RBarnes & Noble Classics &&L/I&&Rpulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each readers understanding of these enduring works.&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&ROne of the first personal histories ever written, &&LI&&RThe Confessions of St. Augustine&&L/I&&R offers more than a gripping narrative of one man's battle against doubt. It is also a brilliant work of theology that helped set the foundation for much of modern Christian thought.&&LBR&&R &&LBR&&RIn a series of thirteen books, &&LSTRONG&&RSaint Augustine&&L/B&&R displays a profound and searching intellect as he examines his life: his early memories of growing up in Roman North Africa during the fourth century A.D., his disgusted response to his mother's faith, his agonies and sins as a student, and finally his dramatic conversion in a garden in Milan. Along the way, the &&LI&&RConfessions&&L/I&&R explores with great force and artistry the nature of time, mind, and memory, and lays out Augustine's interpretation of the Book of Genesis.&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LBR&&RThroughout, Augustine's remarkable depth of thinking is matched only by his elegance of expression, which has powerfully moved readers for more than 1500 years. A timeless classic, the &&LI&&RConfessions&&L/I&&R remains an unforgettable portrait of an individual's struggle for self-definition in the presence of a powerful God.&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LSTRONG&&RMark Vessey&&L/B&&R &&L/B&&Ris Professor of English at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of &&LI&&RLatin Christian Authors in Late Antiquity and Their Texts&&L/I&&R and co-editor of &&LI&&RAugustine and the Disciplines: Cassiciacum to "Confessions".&&L/I&&R He has written extensively on the reception of early Christian Latin writings in the Renaissance and later periods.&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&R
