"Heureuse une vie qui commence par l'amour et finit par l'ambition" dira Pascal. Le jeune Augustin a connu le premier mais se refuse vite � la seconde, et sa vraie vie d�bute avec le rejet des ambitions et le deuil des amours humaines.
Ce natif de l'Afrique romanis�e du Ve si�cle qui voulait se faire moine (la r�gle qu'il institua influencera profond�ment et durablement l'organisation monastique) fut choisi comme �v�que d'Hippone; mais, malgr� ses lourdes charges de pasteur, de pol�miste engag� dans les plus chauds d�bats doctrinaux de son temps, malgr� ses d�placements et ses obligations d'homme de pouvoir, il sut "voler", souvent sur le sommeil de ses nuits, les heures n�cessaires � la r�daction d'une oeuvre immense d'ex�g�te et de th�ologien. Servie par la plume d'un �crivain de g�nie - il a, avec ses c�l�bres Confessions, invent� l'autobiographie-, elle nourrira la pens�e du Moyen �ge, accompagnera � la Renaissance la red�couverte de l'h�ritage antique et alimente aujourd'hui encore la r�flexion des philosophes et des th�ologiens (le corpus de cette oeuvre semble d'ailleurs n'�tre jamais clos, et l'ensemble de lettres inconnues et de sermons in�dits que l'on vient de retrouver �claire d'un jour nouveau la figure du "docteur de la gr�ce").
Cette biographie restitue Augustin dans tote sa complexit� et toute sa profondeur, aussi bien lorsqu'elle fait le portrait d'un homme hors du commun que lorsqu'elle d�gage son apport majeur � l'histoire intellectuelle et � la consolidation du christianisme latin. Ancien membre de l'Ecole fran�aise de Rome, professeur �m�rite � l'universit� de Grenoble, sp�cialiste de l'Afrique du Nord dans l'antiquit� (il a publi� chez Fayard une grande synth�se sur Carthage ainsi qu'une biographie d'Hannibal), Serge Lancel a partag� sa vie de chercheur entre l'arch�ologie des premiers temps de Carthage et l'�tude historique de l'Eglise d'Afrique. Membre du comit� de r�daction de l'Augustinus-Lexikon, il a aussi collabor� � l'�dition des nouvelles lettres dans un volume de la "Biblioth�que augustinienne" et a publi� les Actes de la "conf�rence de Carthage" de 411.
