Philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau only briefly mentions his older brother François in his autobiographical work Confessions, as his family disowned him because he had become a pervert, run away, and completely lost himself. The latter therefore embarks on his own autobiography, taking us to the 18th century, the time of the French Revolution and events that significantly influenced the course of history. François was lent his pen by French writer Stephane Audeguy, who received the prestigious literary award Prix des Deux Margots for his novel The Only Son. You are invited to a brilliantly written work, full of insightful thoughts, sharp judgments, and unusual events.
