Immerse yourself in the world of young Jean-Jacques Rousseau who is swayed more by the slightest pleasures at his fingertips than all the delights of paradise. His emotional vulnerability leads him on a series of adventurous escapades with drifters and outcasts, always culminating in a reunion with his mother figure, Madame de Warens. In an unparalleled act of self-disclosure, Rousseau starts Volume 3 with a scandalously indecent act in a dark alleyway. This 1903 edition, failing to understand the comically strange tone of the passage, omits it to shield the reader. (Summary by Martin Geeson)

However, his happiness is tainted by an undefined sadness, a sense of guilt as if he has committed incest. Despite their closeness, she doesnt share his remorse, for she never sought pleasure. Join us as we navigate the tangled web of his emotions in these volumes.
