Features: Rousseau's autobiography is one of the most valuable autobiographies in the world. The entire work was completed intermittently during his turbulent life of exile, resulting from the fierce conflict between a radical popular thinker and the reactionary regime. It is a work by an intellectual from the people who, in the face of feudal autocratic oppression, defends not only his rights and dignity as a human being but more importantly as an ordinary person. It serves as a rebuttal against the persecution and slander of the ruling class. In the book, he indeed speaks with genuine sincerity about his entire life, thoughts, feelings, and all aspects of his character, filled with the confidence, self-respect, and pride of the common people. It is a living manifesto of individual liberation, and its candor and honesty reach an unimaginable degree, making it a remarkable book in literary history.
