Confessions (new Translation of Foreign Literary Classics)

About This Novel
"Confessions" was written in Rousseau's tragic old age. It is an autobiographical work that defends his existence when he is surrounded by enemies on all sides. In the book, Rousseau, with a candid attitude and deep introspection, narrates his life experience of more than 50 years from his birth to his departure from St. Pierre Island in 1766, and tells all his thoughts and feelings. It's called Confession, but it's actually a work of accusation. The book records his fifty-year life experience from birth to the time he was forced to leave St. Pierre Island, recounts his tragic experience of being dependent on others as a child, denounces the injustices in life, and sympathizes with ordinary little people. When looking back on the past, the little things in life that violate moral conscience are readily apparent. "Confessions" tells all his thoughts and feelings, analyzing his behavior and inner world. "Confessions" has a delicate and ingenious conception, rich ideological content, vivid characters, and a light and refined writing style with a sense of music.
