Publisher's Synopsis

Emile is a novel written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a famous philosopher, and writer of the 18th century. The book is a treatise on education, and it explores the idea of natural education, which emphasizes the importance of allowing children to learn through experience and exploration. The novel follows the story of Emile, a young boy who is raised in the countryside by his tutor, who teaches him through hands-on experiences rather than traditional classroom learning. Throughout the book, Rousseau discusses various topics related to education, such as the importance of physical education, the role of the teacher, and the need for children to learn at their own pace. Emile was a groundbreaking work when it was first published in 1762, and it remains a classic in the field of education and child development. The book has been translated into many languages and has influenced the way educators think about teaching and learning to this day.Our inner conflicts are caused by these contradictions. Drawn this way by nature and that way by man, compelled to yield to both forces, we make a compromise and reach neither goal. We go through life, struggling and hesitating, and die before we have found peace, useless alike to ourselves and to others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
