The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 02 by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 02" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is an autobiography completed in 1769. This groundbreaking work chronicles the first fifty-three years of Rousseau's life, revealing both triumph and shame with unprecedented candor. Unlike earlier religious autobiographies, Rousseau focuses on worldly experiences and personal feelings, opening doors for future autobiographers. He confesses embarrassing moments—from framing an innocent girl for theft to abandoning his children. Though containing factual inaccuracies,
the work displays how life experiences shaped his revolutionary ideas, making it one of literature's first major personal autobiographies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
