A review by bojana_dimitrioska
Julie ou La nouvelle Héloïse by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

4.0

As someone who doesn't agree with Rousseau's philosophy one bit, the fact that I really enjoyed this book took me completely by surprise. Masked by a tragic love story, what this book truly reads as is an exposé of XVIIIth century France, and more specifically Rousseau's personal views on themes such as virtue, religion, love, family and society. With that being said, seeing how this book is a "retelling", I'm really interested in reading Abelard and Heolise's original letters.
