Confessions

Solitary, now detached from the world, the Rousseau of these last six books is still in search of his Self, but another fight also mobilizes him: as the pirate editions of his books have forged in his eyes a false idea of ​​his person, it is to rehabilitate himself that he aims here, in a desperate attempt to draw and impose his true figure. Faced with his enemies hiding in the shadows, he strips himself naked so as not to play their game, and, to escape them, shows himself as he is. While, in the first part of the Confessions, he focused on understanding himself better and making himself understood through a series of emblematic scenes, what is discovered here is the writer who believes himself to be persecuted, the hunted man who only finds peace among the flowers of the fields, the eternal expelled who opens himself to the legend. And if he goes towards death, it is in the search for the harmony that can be established between a constantly high self-image and the miseries of his destiny.
