About this book
In one of the first modern autobiographies, the philosopher Rousseau sets out to reveal himself completely (his passions, follies, humiliations, and sins) declaring that he will show a man 'in all the truth of nature.' From a wandering, troubled youth to fame and bitter persecution, he lays bare his inner life with unprecedented candor and emotional depth. Intimate, self-justifying, and often startlingly honest, the Confessions transformed the art of self-writing and helped inaugurate Romanticism's cult of the individual self. A landmark of world literature, it remains a fascinating, revealing, and deeply human portrait of one of history's most influential and contradictory minds.
