The initimate story of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the wisest most foolish of all philosophers whose heights of philosophical grandeur were equaled only by the degrading absurdity of his private life. It is also the story of his adulterous wife of the frivolous nobles of France who made it fanshionable to read him, but who missed the point of what he was saying and of the heros, villians and fools who built the French Revolution on his words.
