-Confessions- Born in African land, still predominantly pagan in the 4th century, Augustine led a youth of pleasures until the age of 32. His story, which marked the history of Christianity as much as that of philosophy, retraces his own quest: the one that led him from wandering and the contradictory impulses of desires, to God. He observes the world, stubbornly seeking in the reading of philosophers how to understand it. Everything changes when he turns his gaze towards himself: it is here, in his innermost being, that he meets the Christian God. This results in a new understanding of evil, of time, of the world. And a magnificent and universal story in that it is that of man in his relationship with God.

Saint Augustine (354-430) Philosopher who assiduously practiced loving wisdom and seeking happiness, tireless preacher in a Roman city in Africa that was still strongly pagan, renowned theologian, he left texts whose repercussions were immense in the Christian West. His late conversion to the God of Jesus Christ, at the age of 32, marked a decisive turning point in his inner search.
