Download or read book Confessions of Julius A written by Gary Magallon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-06-07 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Confessions of Julius A. is written in the form of an autobiography. The main character is an eccentric serving a life sentence for first degree murder, a murder he did not commit. However, he was convicted almost exclusively on his own testimony, and justifiably so as far as he is concerned. Although there are flights of absurdity, it is a serious work in that Julius delusions represent, in an exaggerated way, the common need to pluck some meaning out of life.

Book excerpt: In this new translation the brilliant and impassioned descriptions of Augustine's colourful early life are conveyed to the English reader with accuracy and art. Augustine tells of his wrestlings to master his sexual drive, his rare ascent from a humble Algerian farm to the edge of the corridors of high power at the imperial court of Milan, and his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage as he recovered the faith that his mother had taught him. It was in a Milan garden that Augustine finally achieved the act of will to Christian conversion, which he compared to a lazy man in bed finally deciding it is time to get up and face the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling and legendary author of Helen of Troy and Elizabeth I now turns her gaze on Emperor Nero, one of the most notorious and misunderstood figures in history. Built on the backs of those who fell before it, Julius Caesar’s imperial dynasty is only as strong as the next person who seeks to control it. In the Roman Empire no one is safe from the sting of betrayal: man, woman—or child. As a boy, Nero’s royal heritage becomes a threat to his very life, first when the mad emperor Caligula tries to drown him, then when his great aunt attempts to secure her own son’s inheritance. Faced with shocking acts of treachery, young Nero is dealt a harsh lesson: it is better to be cruel than dead. While Nero idealizes the artistic and athletic principles of Greece, his very survival rests on his ability to navigate the sea of vipers that is Rome. The most lethal of all is his own mother, a cold-blooded woman whose singular goal is to control the empire. With cunning and poison, the obstacles fall one by one. But as Agrippina’s machinations earn her son a title he is both tempted and terrified to assume, Nero’s determination to escape her thrall will shape him into the man he was fated to become—an Emperor who became legendary. With impeccable research and captivating prose, The Confessions of Young Nero is the story of a boy’s ruthless ascension to the throne. Detailing his journey from innocent youth to infamous ruler, it is an epic tale of the lengths to which man will go in the ultimate quest for power and survival.

Book excerpt: Augustine of Hippo's timeless classic of Christian theology is brought to the reader anew in this authoritative edition of his Confessions. Written over three years toward the end of the 5th century A.D. , The Confessions of Saint Augustine are split into thirteen distinctly sequential books. Together they comprise the earliest post-Biblical texts to gain authority and appreciation in philosophical and theological circles, their influence profound and immense across centuries of Christian thought and development of the Catholic church. Large portions of the text are autobiographical, as we hear the tales of Saint Augustine's younger years. Filled with wrongdoing and sin, it was only on attaining maturity that the man who was to become an honored bishop and posthumously a Saint would change his ways. After entering spiritual life, he would evolve his views upon spiritual matters amid the educational systems of Rome and Milan, where he would teach for years. His legendary conversion to Christianity is detailed, whereby Augustine examines a Bible and reads Romans 13:13-14: "Not in revelry and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy; but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and as for the flesh, take no thought for its lusts." After covering these principle events, the later books move closer to philosophical reflection upon aspects of the Christian faith. The thought processes by which Augustine attained peace with himself and with God are detailed, while poignant questions on the nature of the divine, of reality, and of creation are examined in extraordinary depth. Finally, we are taken through Augustine's interpretations of Genesis as allegory. It is through reading Augustine's famous Confessions that we gain insight into the views and influence he would have upon more than a millennia of Christian scholars to follow. Highly eloquent and articulate, the speech here flows with ideas both insightful and inspiring on the nature of belief and the divine. For scholars and students of religion, as well as those interested in Christianity and its history, the Confessions of Saint Augustine are essential reading. Translated to English by Oxford professor and churchman Edward Bouverie Pusey, the words of Augustine retain their authenticity and impact in this edition.
