Confessions, volumes 3 and 4

What’s This Podcast
About?

Immerse yourself in the world of young Jean-Jacques Rousseau who is swayed more by the slightest pleasures at his fingertips than all the delights of paradise. His emotional vulnerability leads him on a series of adventurous escapades with drifters and outcasts, always culminating in a reunion with his mother figure, Madame de Warens. In an unparalleled act of self-disclosure, Rousseau starts Volume 3 with a scandalously indecent act in a dark alleyway. This 1903 edition, failing to understand the comically strange tone of the passage, omits it to shield the reader. (Summary by Martin Geeson)
