About This Novel
"Confessions" is Rousseau's autobiography, written by Rousseau in his later years. The whole book is divided into two parts, reflecting the certain cruelty and oppression caused by society to people through Rousseau's own rough life. It is Rousseau's introspection and painstaking work in his later years when he was in a miserable situation. It records Rousseau's life experience for more than fifty years from his birth to his forced departure from St. Pierre Island in 1766. Rousseau recounted the rough treatment he received as a child, described the abuse he received after entering society, and all the darkness and injustice he heard and witnessed, and angrily exposed the "law of the jungle" in society, as well as the ugliness and decadence of the ruling class. Through his unparalleled self-confession, Rousseau showed his unique life experiences, thoughts and emotions to the world, and guided readers to understand and think about deep-seated issues about people and society.
