The Confessions of St. Augustine

Augustine of Hippo, translated by E. B. Pusey

A stolen pear he did not even want, a mistress of thirteen years dismissed, a decade spent arguing himself out of belief — and then a child’s voice in a garden telling him to pick up and read. It is the first autobiography in the West and still the least guarded. Pusey keeps the shape of Augustine’s Latin, which is prayer as much as memoir: it was written to be said aloud, and it lands that way.

A small courtesy that keeps the drive-by spam out. Press play to begin.

Or write privately — a mispronounced name, a chapter that cuts off, a book you’d like next. It goes straight to the maker and is never published.
