episode 15 - Confessions, volumes 1 and 2 by Jean-Jacques Rousseau cover

Description

Dive deep into the soul of Rousseau as he courageously embarks on a profound journey of self-introspection in Confessions. These first two volumes, as presented in this 1903 edition, dive into his early years, exploring his upbringing and youthful indiscretions. The narrative, reminiscent of Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu, dwells on the dual nature of man, the vile and the virtuous. Be prepared for Rousseaus raw honesty as he unveils embarrassing and humbling experiences, aiming for an ultimate, soul-baring transparency that may be both unsettling and enlightening. (Summary by Martin Geeson)
