Adolescence/teenage: more school (carthage), living in sin, fathering a child. 40"s: made bishop of hippo (algeria), writes confessions age 43 (397 a. d. ) Books i - ix: birth, childhood, youth > conversion [mom dies] -> talks about his life from birth to rebirth (leads into some kind of new self) --> but doesn"t end at his conversion, but when his mom dies.

I have nobody to tell me: neither my father nor m y.
