Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This autobiography offers a unique blend of humor and scandal, presenting a crafted self-portrait that reflects Rousseau's spirit rather than strict truth. Known for his witty inner monologue, he portrays himself as a complex character—gambler, trickster, and mastermind—while candidly addressing the challenges he faced in a repressive culture. The work also highlights themes of betrayal and resilience during revolutionary times, making it a significant commentary on French history and society. Rousseau's blend of comedy and honesty has earned him the title of "genius" from both critics and readers.
