The Confessions – Audiobook Online
The Confessions – Audiobook Online By: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Dr. Johnson may have been right when he said that “Rousseau was a very bad man,” but no one can argue that his ideas are among the most influential in the history of the world.
It was Rousseau, the father of the Romantic movement, who was responsible for introducing at least two modern ideas that pervade academia: (1) the freedom of creative expression was more important than strict adherence to the principles formal rules and traditional procedures, and (2) people who are good in nature but corrupted by society and civilization.
Confessions is Rousseau’s landmark autobiography. Both brilliant and flawed, it is nonetheless beautifully written and remains one of the most moving human documents in all of literature. In this work, Rousseau “frankly and sincerely” settles accounts with himself in an attempt to present his “true” image to the world. In doing so, he reveals details of a man with little regard for accepted morality and social conventions.
Sometimes hard to read, the names of places and people run together a lot. But the book is a great read and it was interesting to read something that detailed the life of an intellectual in France at the time. Really shows that while many things change, some things don’t.
This edition is beautiful, and the writing is as beautiful as it was when I first read it. I would recommend this book to anyone. Really anyone. Rousseau had such an elated voice, no matter what he was talking about. This is a book about things that he is ashamed of, yet Rousseau presents it in such an optimistic way. This is a must read book.
