Sinossi
Tradotto da Peter ConstantineRevisionato e con una nuova introduzione di Leo Damrosch "L'uomo nasce libero, e ovunque è incatenato" è la drammatica frase iniziale di The Social Contract, pubblicato nel 1762. Citata da politici e filosofi, la potenza di questa frase continua a risuonare. Ha gettato le basi sia per la Rivoluzione americana che per quella francese ed è considerata un testo fondamentale nello sviluppo dei moderni principi dei diritti umani. Rousseau era uno straordinario visionario e un pensatore rivoluzionario. The Essential Writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau raccoglie la sua opera migliore e più indispensabile. Il libro include: Discorso sull'origine e i fondamenti della disuguaglianza tra gli uomini e The Social Contract per intero, più selezioni da Émile, un trattato sull'educazione, le autobiografiche Reveries of the Solitary Walker e Julie, o la nuova Héloïse, un romanzo epistolare.

Informazioni sull'autore
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Author)
Peter Constantine's honors include the PEN Translation Prize, the National Translation Award, the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize, and Greece’s Translators of Literature Prize. He translated Machiavelli’s The Prince for Vintage Classics.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born in Geneva in 1712. He was a writer and political theorist of the Enlightenment. In 1750 he published his first important work 'A Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts' (1750) where he argued that man had become corrupted by society and civilisation. In 1755, he published 'Discourse on the Origin of Inequality' and in 'The Social Contract' (1762) he argued, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains". This political treatise earned him exile from his home city of Geneva and arguably inspired the French Revolution (his ashes were transferred to the Pantheon in Paris in 1794). He also wrote 'Èmile', a treatise on education and 'The New Eloise' (1761). This novel scandalised the French authorities who ordered Rousseau's arrest. In his last 10 years, Rousseau wrote his 'Confessions'. In The Confessions he remembers his adventurous life, his achievements and the persecution he suffered from opponents. His revelations inspired the likes of Proust, Goethe and Tolstoy among others. Rousseau died on 2 July in France in 1778.
