Book summary

Augustine, in search of truth, retraces his path from a youth marked by doubt and excess to his spiritual conversion. He explores his mistakes, questions, and the influences that shaped his thought. Through this introspection, he seeks to understand the nature of good, evil, and faith. This personal narrative becomes a universal reflection on inner transformation. The author offers a profound work on conscience, guilt, and the search for meaning.

The plot

A man tells the story of his youth. At sixteen, he steals pears without being hungry, just for the pleasure of doing wrong.

The world of the book

From North Africa to Milan. The book is set in the Roman Empire, around the Mediterranean.

The author

A brilliant teacher of the Roman Empire. Born in present-day Algeria, Augustine teaches the art of public speaking.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
