AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming three-volume set of this edition which constitutes a founding autobiography in which the author undertakes to recount his life with sincerity, from childhood to maturity, claiming an unprecedented approach to self-exploration based on the truth of feelings, experiences and personal contradictions -
In volumes I, II and III, Rousseau speaks of his childhood in Geneva, marked by the early loss of his mother and his father's influence, as well as his first years of education and wandering, which gradually shape his sensitive and independent character -
He then describes his various youth experiences, his travels, his meetings and his social difficulties, stressing the trials, humiliations and choices that steer his destiny toward a life of a writer and thinker -
The author assigns a significant role to the analysis of his emotions, his moral aspirations and his inner conflicts, seeking to show how external circumstances and individual sensibility interweave in the formation of personality -
