Publisher's Synopsis

The rise and spectacular fall of the friendship between the two great philosophers of the 18th century, Jean-Jacques Rousseau & David Hume, reverberated on both sides of the Channel. As the relationship unravelled, rancorous letters were fired off, then quickly published & devoured by aristocrats, intellectuals & common readers alike.
