Les Rêveries du Promeneur Solitaire by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"Les Rêveries du Promeneur Solitaire" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is an unfinished work written between 1776 and 1778. In these ten meditative "walks," Rousseau retreats into solitude after years of feeling persecuted and isolated. He abandons explaining himself to the world and instead explores his inner life through contemplation of nature and philosophical reflection. This intimate journal blends autobiography with philosophy, pioneering a new form of introspective writing that helped birth European Romanticism.
Rousseau writes purely for himself, finding peace in solitary wandering. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
