About Peter Constantine’s translation.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
?There are times when Augustine seems all too self-consciously in control of his performance, but there are moments when the role of penitent sinner turned ecstatic worshipper ceases to be a role and becomes simply the naked truth of the man himself. The deep strength of Peter Constantine's translation is that he has matched Augustine's sincerity with his own.?
