The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering Rousseau's childhood, education, and early adulthood, and the second volume covering his later life and career. Throughout the book, Rousseau reflects on his relationships with family, friends, and lovers, as well as his experiences with society and politics. He also discusses his philosophical ideas, including his beliefs about human nature, society, and morality. The book is known for its frankness and honesty, as Rousseau reveals both his strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, and joys and sorrows. The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau V1 is considered a landmark work in the history of autobiography and has had a significant influence on subsequent literary and philosophical works. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and ideas of one of the most important thinkers of the Enlightenment period.1923. Translated from the French. With a preface by Edmund Wilson. Rousseau, philosopher and Father of the Romantic Movement, The Confessions is his landmark autobiography. Both brilliant and flawed, it is nonetheless beautifully written and remains one of the most moving human documents in all of literature. In this work, Rousseau frankly and sincerely settles accounts with himself in an effort to project his true image to the world. In so doing he reveals the details of a man who paid little regard to accepted morality and social conventions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
