The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau” is a groundbreaking memoir by the influential Enlightenment philosopher, offering a candid exploration of his life and ideas. This autobiography diverges from earlier religious-focused memoirs, focusing instead on Rousseau’s personal experiences and emotions. Covering his life until 1765, it presents both inspiring and controversial aspects of his life, including personal wrongdoings and his abandonment of five children. Completed in 1769 but published posthumously in 1782, this work inspired a new genre of introspective and honest autobiographies.

 

Beautifully bound in red Moroccan leather, this two-volume 1928 edition was translated into English from the French by W. Conyngham Mallory and is ornamented with 13 original engravings from the “Jouaust Edition” of 1881 by Edmond Hédouin.
