懺悔錄

內(nèi)容概要

法國近代最具影響力的文學(xué)家、思想家讓-雅克·盧梭出身于平民階層，一生得罪不少權(quán)貴，樹敵太多，既無好友可與傾訴，于是效法前賢圣奧古斯丁自敘平生，于1764年末開始撰寫《懺悔錄》，其間又經(jīng)歷流亡英國和潛逃回法國種種變故，大約于1770年完竣。作者以破除舊的禮法、崇尚自然為旨?xì)w，直筆無隱，一一揭露出上流社會(huì)體面、風(fēng)雅背后的種種虛偽與丑惡，對(duì)平民階層自然純樸的風(fēng)貌則給予了熱忱的歌頌，從而改變了社會(huì)的倫理思維和人生理想，預(yù)示了浪漫主義時(shí)代的到來。
盡管法國當(dāng)局一不準(zhǔn)盧梭再發(fā)表文章，二不準(zhǔn)其在公眾場合朗讀這部“披肝瀝膽地暴露自己”的書，但二百余年來，盧梭的這部《懺悔錄》已被譯成各種文字，成為“世界三大懺悔錄”之一。

作者簡介

作者：（法國）盧梭（Jean—Jacques Rousseau）  盧梭(Jean-Jacques Rousseau),(1712-1778)was a major philosopher,writer,and composer of 18th-century Romanticism.His political philosophy heavily influenced the French Revolution,as well as the overall development of modern political,sociological and educational thought. His Confessions,which initiated the modern autobiography,and his Reveries of a Solitary Walker were among the pre-eminent examples of the late 18th-century movement known as the Age of Sensibility,featuring an increasing focus on subjectivity and introspection that has characterized the modern age.

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：   Every night,after supper,we read some part of a small collection of romances which had been my mother's.My father's design was only to improve me in reading,and he thought these entertaining works were calculated to give me a fondness for it; but we soon found ourselves so interested in the adventures they contained,that we alternately read whole nights together,and could not bear to give over until at the conclusion of a volume.Sometimes,in a morning,on hearing the swallows at our window,my father,quite ashamed of this weakness,would cry,"Come,come,let us go to bed; I am more a child than thou art." I soon acquired,by this dangerous custom,not only an extreme facility in reading and comprehending,but,for my age,a too intimate acqvaintance with the passions.An infinity of sensations were familiar to me,without possessing any precise idea of the objects to which they related-I had conceived nothing-I had felt the whole.This confused succession of emotions did not retard the future efforts of my reason,though they added an extravagant,romantic notion of human life,which experience and reflection have never been able to eradicate. My romance reading concluded with the summer of 1719,the following winter was differently employed.My mother's library being quite exhausted,we had recourse to that part of her father's which had devolved to us; here we happily found some valuable books,which was by no means extraordinary,having been selected by a minister that truly deserved that title,in whom learning(which was the rage of the times)was but a secondary commendation,his taste and good sense being most conspicuous.The history of the Church and Empire by Le Sueur,Bossuett's Discourses on Universal History,Plutarch's Lives,the history of Venice by Nani,Ovid's Metamorphoses,La Bruyere,Fontenelle's World,his Dialogues of the Dead,and a few volumes of Moliere,were soon ranged in my father's closet,where,during the hours he was employed in his business,I daily read them,with an avidity and taste uncommon,perhaps unprecedented at my age. Plutarch presently became my greatest favorite.The satisfaction I derived from repeated readings I gave this author,extinguished my passion for romances,and I shortly preferred Agesilaus,Brutus,and Aristides,to Orondates,Artemenes,and Juba.These interesting studies,seconded by the conversations they frequently occasioned with my father,produced that republican spirit and love of liberty,that haughty and invincible turn of mind,which rendered me impatient of restraint or servitude,and became the torment of my life,as I continually found myself in situations incompatible with these sentiments.Incessantly occupied with Rome and Athens,conversing,if I may so express myself with their illustrious heroes; born the citizen of a republic,of a father whose ruling passion was a love of his country,I was fired with these examples; could fancy myself a Greek or Roman,and readily give into the character of the personage whose life I read; transported by the recital of any extraordinary instance of fortitude or intrepidity,animation flashed from my eyes,and gave my voice additional strength and energy.One day,at table,while relating the fortitude of Scoevola,they were terrified at seeing me start from my seat and hold my hand over a hot chafing-dish,to represent more forcibly the action of that determined Roman.

編輯推薦

　　ROUSSEAU recognized the unique nature of the Confessions， it opens with the famous words：I have resolved on an enterprise which， has noprecectent， and which， once complete， wiu have noimitator. My purpose is to display to my kind a portrait in every way true to nature， and the man Ishall portray will be myself，　　Some scholars believe that is prediction was wideoff the mark. Not long after publication many otherwriters （such as Goethe， Wordsworth and De Quincey） wrote their own similarly-styled autobiographies. However， Leo Damrosch argues that Rousseau meant that it would be impossible to imitatehis book， as nobody else would be like Jean-Jacques Rousseau.　　I HAVEENTERED upon a pcrformancc which is without cxamplc， whoscaccomplishmcnt will havc no imitator. I mean to present my fcllow-mortals with a man in all the integrity of nature; and this man shall bemyself.　　I know my heart， and have studied mankind; I am not made like any one I have been acquainted with， perhaps like no one in existence; if not better，I at least claim originality， and whcthcr Nature did wisely in breaking themould with which she formed me， can only be determined after having readthis work.
