Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. One of the great works of Western literature, from perhaps the most important thinker of Christian antiquity, in a revolutionary new translation by one of todays leading classicists Sarah Rudens fresh, dynamic translation of Confessions brings us closer to Augustines intent than any previous version. It puts a glaring spotlight on the life of one individual to show how all lives have meaning that is universal and eternal. In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine tells the story of his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. He describes his ascent from a humble farm in North Africa to a prestigious post in the Roman Imperial capital of Milan, his struggle against his own overpowering sexuality, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and the recovery of the faith his mother had taught him during his earliest years. Augustines concerns are often strikingly contemporary, and the confessional mode he invented can be seen everywhere in writing today. Grounded in her command of Latin as it was written and spoken in the ancient world, Sarah Rudens translation is a bold departure from its predecessorsand the most historically accurate translation ever. Stylistically beautiful, with no concessions made to suit later theology and ritual, Rudens rendition will give readers a startling and illuminating new perspective on one of the central texts of Christianity.Praise for Confessions[Ruden] has clearly thought deeply about what Augustine was trying to say.The Wall Street JournalA translation of [Augustines] masterwork that does justice both to him and to his God . . . Repeated small acts of attention to the humble, human roots of Augustines imagery of his relations to God enable Ruden to convey a living sense of the Being before Whom we find him transfixed in prayer: Silent, long-suffering and with so much mercy in your heart.The New York Review of Books Delightfully readable . . . In this lively translation filled with vivid, personal prose, Ruden introduces readers to a saint whom many will realize they only thought they knew. . . . Approaching her subject with deep religious and historical knowledge, [Ruden] chooses to translate Augustine as a performative, engaging storyteller rather than a systematic theologian.Publishers Weekly (starred review)Rudens translation makes Augustines ancient text accessible to a new generation of readers with a real taste of the original Latin.Library Journal [Rudens] record as a translator of ancient texts . . . clearly establishes her considerable talent.Christianity Today A sinner comes to God in one of the great works of Western literature, from perhaps the most important thinker of Christian antiquity, in a radical new translation by one of today s most highly-respected classicists.In this intensely personal narrative, Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. …
