The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 01 by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 01" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is an autobiography completed in 1769 but published in 1782. In this groundbreaking work, Rousseau reveals his life through worldly experiences and personal feelings rather than religious devotion. He courageously exposes his most shameful moments, including theft, deception, and abandoning his five children. As one of the first major modern autobiographies, it opens with Rousseau's bold declaration to portray himself in complete truth, creating a precedent that would inspire countless writers to follow.
