Features: Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an outstanding thinker and writer of 18th-century France and a pioneer of 19th-century Romantic literature. This book is one of his important representative works. It is a dialogue between Rousseau and his own soul, a self-examination of the heart. It truly portrays Rousseau in a state of innocence—honest, simple, wise, and loving nature. Rousseau vividly expresses his deep affection for children, hatred for enemies, joy derived from reminiscing about the past, contempt for hypocritical and treacherous people, and his longing for a happy, harmonious life, among many other genuine emotions.
