Synopsis

This book is an autobiography of a woman named Laeta, who lived from approximately 330-410 AD, during a period of great Christian upheaval. The author was a devout Christian, and her writings provide a first-hand account of the tensions between Paganism and Christianity that existed at the time. She also experienced personal tragedy, as she lost her husband and children at a young age and having to care for her orphaned grandchildren. Her story is a fascinating account of a world that was on the cusp of great change, and her experiences offer insight into the social and religious issues of the period.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Conquering and to conquer; yes, that abides our motto forever. CHAPTER I. OU gather around me, children of my old age, here in this city of Treves, on the banks of the Moselle River, on the shores of the great tide of nations that is ever rushing down on the Roman world ;children of every tongue and kindred and people, rescued from every kind of wreck and wretchedness, the children whom God has given me in place of those He took from me in my youth. You gather to hear the old stories from me, your foster-mother, the old Abbess Laeta.
