A French courtier during the 18th century, today he's best known for his comprehensive multi-volume memoirs, which depict life in France at the time. He was an indefatigable writer, and he began very early to record all the gossip he collected, all his interminable legal disputes over precedence, and a vast mass of unclassified material.

Dopo la Bibbia, le "Confessioni" di S. Agostino sono il libro più letto dal V secolo fino ai nostri giorni. Scritto intorno al '400 Dopo Cristo, e considerato unanimemente il capolavoro di tutte le opere spirituali di tutti i tempi, sempre a metà strada tra un'autobiografia ed un trattato filosofico, quest'opera sorprendentemente moderna non è altro che la testimonianza di un irrequieto, tormentato, fervido viaggio di un uomo alla ricerca di Dio.

And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it."
