One day, Jostein Gaarder a famous Norwegian writer with his earlier book 'Sophie's World' came into Book Fair in Buenos Aires. He found an old manuscript put in a box. The manuscript was written in Latin language. He was very interested, surprised with the manuscript and having great enthusiasm to buy that manuscript after he knew that the manuscript was a personal letter which was was written by a girl named Florentina to Saint Agustine, one of the most influential person in Catholic Religion.
The manuscript was a Florentina confession as one person who was ever came into Aurel's (Florentina used to called to Agustine) life. Florentina was Agustine's girl Friend. They met in Rhetoric college. They lived together until they had a child named Adeodotus. Adeodotus means The Blessed Person. The manuscript was a Florentina's confession to Agustin. The Confession was actually Florentina's reaction of Agustin's book titled 'Confession'. The book was divided into several chapter which told about Agustin's life since he was young until he came into Catholic and became a great person who gave a big influence into Catholic thought. Florentina radically criticism Agustin's book because he was never thought that Florentina had an important role in Agustin's life. He was never write about Florentina explicitly in his book. The manuscript was actually Florentina's criticism about Catholic church thought which never positioning woman as same as man. Maybe the manuscript was a dangerous thing in that age.
This book is interesting in general. It can change my vision about the holly person in Catholic. Even though Aguistine is a Holly person in Catholic, he still a human who have love and desire to make love.
