The article focuses on the book "St. Augustine" by Giovanni Papini. The book is a creative biographer of the life of a great Christian apologist. Prefaces to the book, in the main is an abridgment of the literary publication "Confessions," by a necessarily strained comparison between the redemption of Papini and that of a saint "who had also been a man of letters and a lover of words, but at the same time a restless seeker after philosophies and truths even to the point of being tempted by occultism." And whatever its later conclusions, the same basic chord are struck again and again through the book.
