Confessions: Books I-Xiii (Bks.I-XIII)
"This translation is already a classic... This is largely because the translator has caught not only the meaning of Augustine's Confessions, but a large measure of its poetry. It makes the Latin sing in English, as it first did when it came from the pen of Augustine... Deeply rooted in the religious tradition of which Augustine himself was a principal founder, this translation is not only modern: it is a faithful echo, in a language that has carried through the ages, of its author's original passion and disquiet." -- Peter Brown, Princeton University.
