Synopsis "Confesiones (in Spanish)"

El nombre de San Agustín (354-430) ha pasado a la historia de la literatura como creador de un género original, el de la autobiografía espiritual, de larga tradición con posterioridad en Occidente. Las "Confesiones" relatan la peregrinación de un hombre hacia Dios, un itinerario tortuoso y atormentado, que se inicia en su infancia y se cierra en el año 387, fecha de su conversión al cristianismo. Para San Agustín, el origen de los bienes y males del hombre, el centro del combate que se libra en cada uno de nosotros, está en la conciencia y es profundizando en ella como se puede encontrar una vía de trascendencia hacia la realidad suprema en que se encuentra la verdad, el amor y la belleza.

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) was a philosopher, theologian, and father of the Latin Church, whose work had a profound influence on Christian and Western thought. Converted to Christianity after an intense spiritual search, he became the bishop of Hippo and wrote extensively on theology, ethics, and the human condition. His texts combine philosophical depth with an intense inner life, and are key in the development of medieval and modern Christian thought.

Among his most important works are Confessions (397–400), The City of God (413–426), On the Trinity (400–416), Soliloquies (386), and Christian Doctrine (397). His output, mostly in the philosophical-theological genre, addresses the relationship between faith and reason, the soul, time, and the good. His writings continue to be widely studied, although there are no contemporary awards associated with his work.
