Summary: "Jean Jacques Rousseau: Een beeld van zijn leven en werken" by Henriëtte Roland Holst is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Jean Jacques Rousseau, a pivotal figure in the Enlightenment, chronicling his journey from his youth in Geneva, through his struggles and adventures in Paris, to the evolution of his thoughts and works. The opening of the book begins with an exploration of Rousseau's early life, set against the backdrop of 18th-century Geneva, a city marked by the influence of Calvinism. It describes his family background, his father's shortcomings, and the nurturing relationship he had with his aunt after his mother's death. As the narrative progresses, it details Rousseau's childhood experiences, including his early literary influences and emotional development, setting the stage for his later philosophical inquiry. It portrays a sensitive young boy whose perception of the world is shaped by love, freedom, and the rigid societal constraints of his time, ultimately leading him to a life of wandering, creativity, and self-discovery.
