Overview

A box of Latin manuscripts comes to light in an Argentine flea market. An apocyphral invention by some 17th or 18th century scolar, or a transcrpit of what it appears to be - a hitherto unheard of letter to St Augustine to a woman he renounced for chastity? 'Vita brevis' is both an entrancing human document and a fascinating insight into the life and philosophy of St. Augustine.
