Summary

"The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 07" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a deep look into his life during the 1700s. This book is all about Rousseau's feelings and difficult times, especially when it comes to relationships and how society sees him. Rousseau thinks hard about his past, his strong feelings, and what makes him who he is, as he tries to show the real him. After not writing for two years, he starts up again by thinking about his calm but not-so-great younger years, which he sees as very different from the tough times he had later on. He talks about what he remembers and how he felt, wanting to share his true self but also knowing it's hard to remember painful things. Rousseau tells stories about meeting important people in Lyon as he starts his trip to Paris, showing his dreams of being successful in music and writing. The beginning makes you think, showing Rousseau's deep thoughts and the heavy emotions he carries as he tries to understand himself while dealing with problems and doubts.
