In the twilight of the Roman Empire, one man's search for truth will change the course of history forever.
Augustine has everything he ever dreamed of: prestige as Milan's imperial rhetorician, influential friends in high places, and a bright political future ahead. But in a garden in Milan, a moment of divine encounter will shatter all his carefully laid plans.
This is an epic tale of faith, power, and transformation set against the sweeping backdrop of the Roman Empire's most pivotal decades. As barbarians gather at the gates and old certainties crumble, Augustine must navigate between competing worlds: the fading glory of classical Rome and the rising influence of Christianity, the political intrigues of the imperial court and the radical demands of faith, his brilliant public career and his private search for truth.
Featuring a rich cast of historical figuresfrom the formidable Bishop Ambrose of Milan to Augustine's devoted mother Monica, from the last Western Roman emperors to the advancing barbarian kings"The Long Night of the Soul" brings the late fourth and early fifth centuries to vivid life. Readers will journey from the sophisticated salons of Milan to the sun-baked cities of North Africa, from intense philosophical debates to passionate love affairs, from political conspiracies to profound spiritual awakenings.
The first part of the novel traces Augustine's dramatic journey from ambitious professor to converted Christian, featuring a fascinating exploration of the intellectual and spiritual currents of the late Roman world. The second part follows his unexpected rise to become Bishop of Hippo, where he must face the ultimate test of his faith as the Roman world crumbles around him.
This masterful blend of historical epic and intimate psychological portrait explores timeless themes that still resonate today. Perfect for readers of Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose," Gore Vidal's "Julian," and Mary Renault's classical novels, "The Long Night of the Soul" offers both a gripping historical narrative and a profound exploration of one man's journey from darkness to light.
This work is an unforgettable journey through one of history's most fascinating periods, seen through the eyes of one of its most remarkable figures. It's a story of passion and faith, power and humility, and the eternal human quest for truth and meaning.
