The Confessions Jean-Jacques Rousseau The First "Tell-All" "I have resolved on an enterprise which has no precedent, and which, once complete, will have no imitator. I purpose to show my fellows a man as nature made him, and this man shall be myself." With those opening lines, Jean-Jacques Rousseau invented the modern autobiography. Before this book, memoirs were stiff, formal accounts of public deeds. Rousseau decided to do something radical: he told the truth. The ugly, messy, uncomfortable truth. In this stunning Easton Press edition, you will read the thoughts of a genius who was also deeply flawed. He confesses to petty theft, sexual deviations, paranoia, and the abandonment of his own children—all while writing some of the most beautiful philosophy the world has ever known. "I am made unlike any one I have ever met; I will even venture to say that I am like no one in the whole world. I may be no better, but at least I am different." This is the book that laid the groundwork for the Romantic movement. It is a masterpiece of introspection, bound here in a format that befits its status as a timeless classic.
