«Reveries of the Solitary Walker» is the philosophical essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (160 pages, in English).
The ten meditations that make up the book, written shortly before the author's death, reflect his sense of isolation and his search for consolation in nature. Rousseau combines memories of walks and observations of the natural world with reflections on consciousness and inner life.
Posthumous work, originally published in French in 1782; this English edition includes the translation by Peter France.
A good gateway to Rousseau for those approaching his thought for the first time and for fans of philosophy and the essay.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, philosophe, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought.
