'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 评分几乎是就着巴赫的《马太受难曲》啃完这本几乎可以称得上是冗长的书,昏昏沉沉之间莫名看到了飞蛾。这个意象向来使我想到宗教,尤其是草鞋荆冠的基督。在我看来,自身的焚烧和光焰何尝不是一种对他人苦难的承担与救赎,燃尽生命去祈求主对众生的怜悯。“忏悔”是有浓郁宗...
