Résultats pour "The Confession" dans Roman et littérature

Considered by many to be the first autobiography/memoir ever written, Confessions is a retrospective view of a life challenged by uncertainty, doubt, human frailty, and earthly desires. Augustine discovers and cherishes a deeply personal relationship with his God, all while describing the day-to-day dealings of his life in the fading, corrupt days of the Roman Empire.

Published four years after Rousseau's death, Confessions is a remarkably frank and honest self-portrait, described by Rousseau as "the history of my soul". From his idyllic youth in the Swiss mountains, to his career as a composer in Paris and his abandonment of his children, Rousseau lays bare his entire life with preternatural honesty.

The Confessions of Saint Augustine is one of the most influential works of Christian literature, philosophy, and spiritual autobiography.

More than a personal memoir, the work explores memory, desire, sin, grace, truth, time, free will, and the restless search for meaning.
