Les confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau ( Book )
439 editions published between 1766 and 2012 in 6 languages and held by 2,409 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"En dépit de précédents célèbres (saint Augustin, Montaigne ...), on peut dire que Rousseau, dans les Confessions, se fait l'inventeur de l'autobiographie moderne. Un homme ayant dépassé la cinquantaine, entré tard en littérature mais désormais reconnu, quoique contesté, choisit d'enquêter sur son passé, d'interroger sa vie, ses origines, ses actes, ses sentiments. Avec tendresse, nostalgie, émotion, sévérité, humour parfois, Jean-Jacques tente de se reconstruire devant nous, s'attardant sur une jeunesse insouciante, sur ses voyages, ses rencontres, féminines surtout, ses rêveries, ses ambitions satisfaites ou déçues. Monumental livre du moi, remarquablement écrit, ce récit de vie devient en effet un roman, et pour le lecteur qui accepte d'entrer dans le " labyrinthe obscur et fangeux " de la confidence, il est l'occasion d'aller à la rencontre non seulement d'un des plus grands écrivains de la littérature, mais aussi d'un être complexe, attachant et proche

Essay on the origin of languages and writings related to music by Jean-Jacques Rousseau ( )
6 editions published between 1998 and 2000 in English and held by 1,528 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Jean-Jacques Rousseau the writer-philosopher was a practicing musician and theorist for years before publication of his first Discourse, but scholars have neglected these fertile, inexhaustible ideas because they were either unavailable in a critical edition or viewed as standing outside the aegis of his system of thought." "This graceful translation remedies both those failings by bringing together the Essay with a comprehensive selection of the musical writings. Many of the latter are responses to authors like Rameau, Grimm, and Raynal, and a unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of writings by these authors to help establish the historical and ideological context of Rousseau's writings and the intellectual exchanges of which they are a part."--BOOK JACKET
