Translated by E. B. Pusey
Augustine of Hippo · 400 · Religion & Faith
The first great autobiography: a brilliant, restless young man's long argument with God, from a stolen pear to a garden in Milan where a child's voice says "take up and read". Written as one long prayer, it ends by turning from his own memory to time, creation and rest. Complete, in its thirteen books.
Pick a finish date and Genius lays out the days — the plan shows today's target and keeps you honest.
Start a circle and share the code — everyone sees everyone's honest place in the book. Accountability, not leaderboards.
- Anyone who has been restless and wondered why - Readers of memoir who want to see where the form began - Students of the early Church and of Western thought
