Sheed's classic translation of Augustine's Confessions. True to the original, and in a subtle and dignified English translation, let this be a cornerstone of your library.'Here is a classic which can never grow musty and a story which is new today. Mr Sheed's excellent translation puts the book in reach of everyone.' - Catholic Herald'Mr Sheed's translation must be pronounced a great success. It brings out the full meaning of the original, and in an author so full of subtle nuances and glittering phrases that a defy a rendering that is an achievement.' - Church Times
