Publisher's Synopsis

One of the foundational texts of Western education, this novel served as a model during the French Revolution for a new approach to teaching. Rousseau considered this tale of a young boy and his tutor the most important of his writings, and its exploration of the retention of human goodness and avoidance of social corruption remains highly influential.
