Title : Rousseau's Confessions. Complete Text of Books 1 to 4 - Marc Robert - book
Summary :
I am forming an enterprise which has never had an example and whose execution will have no imitators,” Rousseau proudly proclaims in his preamble, thereby showing the novelty and audacity of his autobiographical approach. For the writer, cornered by his detractors, feels obliged to justify himself: he will therefore say everything, even “the most shameful”!
In search of coherence, of meaning, he starts from childhood to unravel the thread of his life, constantly trying to explain himself. The reader thus gains access to the secrets of his heart, to his misfortunes of course, but also to many moments of happiness, tender moments, sometimes funny moments.
In a remarkably clear style, Jean-Jacques Rousseau recounts his life and his feelings. By telling the unvarnished story of his existence, he holds up a mirror to the reader in which it will not always be pleasant to recognize himself.
