Overview

La historia de un pensador indispensable para entender la Antigüedad tardía.

Publicada por primera vez hace más de medio siglo, esta biografía se ha consolidado como el relato de referencia sobre la vida y las enseñanzas de San Agustín. Es, a su vez, uno de los trabajos más significativos del gran investigador de la Antigüedad tardía Peter Brown, cuya influencia ha marcado a varias generaciones de historiadores.

Si la edición de 1967 de Agustín de Hipona supuso un acontecimiento, el descubrimiento de nuevas cartas y sermones inéditosentre los años setenta y noventa hicieron de la reedición de 1999, que aquí recuperamos, un ejemplo fascinante de cómo el paso de los años afecta (o no) el trabajo historiográfico. Una pasión tanto personal como académica impregnan este aclamado retrato del obispo de Hipona, que hoy adquiere una nueva dimensión debido a su elección como guía espiritual por parte de la nueva derecha internacional liderada por Donald Trump, y tras el nombramiento del primer papa de la Orden de San Agustín, León XIV, en la Iglesia católica.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This classic biography was first published forty-five years ago and has since established itself as the standard account of Saint Augustine's life and teaching.

The remarkable discovery of a considerable number of letters and sermons by Augustine cast fresh light on the first and last decades of his experience as a bishop. These circumstantial texts have led Peter Brown to reconsider some of his judgments on Augustine, both as the author of Confessions and as the elderly bishop preaching and writing in the last years of Roman rule in north Africa.

Brown's reflections on the significance of these exciting new documents are contained in two chapters of a substantial Epilogue to his biography (the text of which is unaltered). He also reviews the changes in scholarship about Augustine since the 1960s. A personal as well as a scholarly fascination infuse the book-length epilogue and notes that Brown has added to his acclaimed portrait of the bishop of Hippo.

The book, Agustín de Hipona / Augustine of Hippo [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9788430628322 in Hardcover by Peter Brown may be ordered in bulk quantities. Minimum starts at 25 copies. Availability based on publisher status and quantity being ordered.
