"The Reveries of a Lonely Walker" is the final work of the great French writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It is the thoughts and feelings he frankly revealed in the last days of his life, in the tragic situation of "no more brothers, neighbors, friends, no one to interact with". The book contains ten wandering reveries, expressing Rousseau's noble feelings of admiring emotions, praising himself, and loving nature.

"Confessions" is a unique, original and unparalleled work. In the book, Rousseau describes his life experience of more than 50 years from his birth to his departure from St. Pierre Island in 1766 with amazing honesty, frankness and deep introspection. He tells all his thoughts and feelings, and analyzes his behavior and inner world. The advent of the novel opened up the path of romantic literature and profoundly influenced the development of European thought and literature in the 19th century.

"Confessions" (1781-1788) records Rousseau's life experience for more than fifty years from his birth to his forced departure from the Island of Saint-Pierre in 1766. Rousseau recounted the rough treatment he received when he was a child, the abuse he received after joining the world, and all the darkness and injustice he heard and witnessed. He angrily exposed society's "law of the jungle", "might makes right" and the ugliness and decay of the ruling class. "Confessions" is a very candid autobiography. In the book, Rousseau claimed that "I tell my virtues and my sins with equal frankness... Showing myself exactly as I am."
