1. The Confessions Of Jean Jacques Rousseau 3
In this installment the narrator traces his turbulent early adulthood with blunt honesty, recounting travels, shifting employments and the friendships and romantic entanglements that shaped him; he examines personal failings and moments of pride, describes episodes of hardship and fleeting success, and reflects on how these experiences forged his sensibilities, moral anxieties, and resolve to live according to his own inward convictions.
