More about the book
The struggle between Rousseau's yearning for solitude and his need for society is the central theme of the <i>Reveries.</i> In the two years before his death in 1778, Jean-Jacques Rousseau composed the ten meditations of <i>Reveries of the Solitary Walker.</i> Combining philosophical argument with amusing anecdotes and lyrical desriptive passages, they record the great French writer's sense of isolation and alienation from a world which he felt had rejected his work. As he wanders around Paris, gazing at plants and day-dreaming, Rousseau looks back over his life in order to justify his actions and to elaborate on his ideal of a well-structured society fit for the noble and solitary natural man.
