103 pages ; 22 cm. "Soliloquies is a work from Augustine's early life, shortly after his conversion, in which are visible all the seeds contained in his future writings. Here we see Augustine as a philosopher, a thinker, and a budding theologian. We also see him as a person preparing for baptism, reaching for the God of truth for whom he had searched passionately. Soliloquies is his personal prayer to his God of love and mercy. Book jacket."--BOOK COVER.
