简介

Thirteen books, written around 397–400, a few years after Augustine became bishop of Hippo. The whole text is addressed to God as a prayer; “confessio” means both the admission of sins and praise. Books I–IX tell his life from infancy to his conversion in a Milan garden in 386 and the death of his mother Monica at Ostia, including the famous theft of pears. Book X examines memory, Book XI time, Books XII–XIII the creation account in Genesis. The work is often regarded as the first autobiography in Western literature and set a model for later accounts of the inner life, from Petrarch to Rousseau.
