«Los conversos» is the historical novel by Rex Warner, published by Edhasa in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the life of Augustine of Hippo from his youth in Carthage to his conversion to Christianity, told by his friend Alypius. In North Africa during the Late Empire, Augustine stands out as an orator and philosopher, while his mother Monica desires his conversion and he is drawn to Manichaeism. Warner portrays the clash between Roman paganism and emerging Christianity through philosophical and religious discussions.
Work translated into Spanish by Carlos Peralta and published in the Narrativas Históricas collection by Edhasa.
For readers of historical fiction set in late antiquity and fiction inspired by real figures of early Christianity.
Reginald "Rex" Ernest Warner was an English classicist, writer, and translator who is best remembered for The Aerodrome (1941). Warner was described by V. S. Pritchett as "the only outstanding novelist of ideas whom the decade of ideas produced".
