(Jean-Jacques) Rousseau, Jean Jacques The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 12 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_(Rousseau) Produced by David Widger "The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 12" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is an autobiographical memoir written during the early 19th century. This volume represents the culmination of Rousseau's introspective journey, where he delves into the complexities of his personal trials, the public persecution he faced, and the intimate relationships he navigated throughout his turbulent life. The opening of this final volume sets a tone of deep anguish and reflection as Rousseau describes himself as enveloped in "the work of darkness" over the past eight years, grappling with shame and the pervasive animosity directed towards him from various quarters, particularly in response to his provocative writings. He recounts significant figures from his life, including his friend Roguin and the discontent surrounding his potential return to Geneva, where he faced condemnation. As he reflects on friendships, particularly with women like Theresa and others, Rousseau hints at the shifting tides of affection that accompany the tumult of his life, indicating relationships marked by both support and sorrow amidst an unforgiving public. The narrative intricately weaves personal anecdotes with broader societal critiques, laying the groundwork for a more chaotic and reflective account that is to unfold in the volumes to come.
