Reveries of a Lonely Walker (little Green Book)
About This Novel
From 1776 to 1778, Rousseau, whose reputation fell and was exiled, spent a turbulent time in Paris, France. At the end of his life, without any brothers, relatives or friends, and alone, he put down his disgust for the surrounding environment and in-depth analysis and reflections on himself in the form of prose, creating the last autobiographical work before his death, "The Reveries of a Lonely Walker". The ten "Wanderings" are Rousseau's daydream diaries when he walked on the streets, walked in the fields, studied plants, and recalled the past. They are also Rousseau's attempt to calm his anxiety and soothe his lonely soul over and over again in a state of contradictions and hesitations. He talked with himself and nature, and then conducted a philosophical reflection on human beings and the spiritual world.
