# The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 06

By Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

"The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 06" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is part of an autobiography completed in 1769 but published posthumously in 1782 and 1789. This groundbreaking work chronicles fifty-three years of Rousseau's life through his worldly experiences and personal feelings rather than religious reflection. Rousseau candidly reveals his most shameful moments, including theft, betrayal, and abandoning his five children. The work pioneered a new form of autobiography that influenced writers like Goethe and Wordsworth, though historians debate its factual accuracy. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
