More about the book

Written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau at the age of eighteen, this play explores themes of self-love and vanity through the character of Narcissus. Despite its intriguing premise, it was poorly received when performed for King Louis XV in 1752, leading to its quick disappearance from the stage. Rousseau, more renowned for his philosophical contributions, faced criticism for this early work, which is often regarded as lacking in artistic merit.
