Book looks brand new and unread to me. >>> A box of Latin manuscripts comes to light in an Argentine flea market. An apocyphral invention by some 17th or 18th century scholar, or a transcrpit of what it appears to be - a hitherto unheard of letter to St Augustine to a woman in which he renounced for chastity? VITA BREVIS is both an entrancing human document and a fascinating insight into the life and philosophy of St.Augustine. Gaarder's interpretation of Floria's letter is as playful, inventive and questioning as his Sophie's World. About The Author: Jostein Gaarder was born in Olso, Norway on August 8, 1952. A former high school philosophy teacher, he now writes numerous novels for children and adults. His best known work is Sophie's World. He has received numerous awards including the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 1994 for Sophie's World, the Buxtehude Bulle in 1997, and the Willy-Brandt-Award in 2004. (Goodreads) *Prize Winner *
