'No one can write a man's life except himself.' In his Confessions Jean-Jacques Rousseau tells the story of his life, from the formative experience of his humble childhood in Geneva, through the achievement of international fame as novelist and philosopher in Paris, to his wanderings as an exile, persecuted by governments and alienated from the world of modern civilization. In trying to explain who he was and how he came to be the object of others' admiration and abuse, Rousseau analyses with unique insight the relationship between an elusive but essential inner self and the variety of social identities he was led to adopt. The book vividly illustrates the mixture of moods and motives that underlie the writing of autobiography: defiance and vulnerability, self-exploration and denial, passion, puzzlement, and detachment. Above all, Confessions is Rousseau's search, through every resource of language, to convey what he despairs of putting into words: the personal quality of one's own existence.

评分偶尔读到一本介绍伏尔泰的书,里面当然少不了卢梭,我饶有兴致地读完了其中关于他们二人纠葛的部分,心中始终激荡着一种淡淡的喜悦,倒不是这本书写的有多好,至少其中有若干观点我是不赞成的,更多的还是因为一直徘徊在心中的那个影子-----卢梭。 介绍伏尔泰的书,就一直颂扬...
