Description
"Late have I loved you, beauty so ancient and so new. Late have I loved you." St. Augustine "Among the thinkers of antiquity, Augustine is the only one who understands the innermost feelings of modern man," declared the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset. The spiritual autobiography of St. Augustine ranks alongside the Bible and The Imitation of Christ as a constant in the imaginary sky of spiritual literature. What accounts for the timeless popularity of this work? Mainly that it testifies with unprecedented authenticity to human fragility and the urgent search for and finding of what is most essential in human life. This is the third edition with a new and quality translation for 21st-century readers, supplemented with a scholarly introduction, explanations, and indexes.
