Rousseau's Last Tour
This was a strange comfort to me these last few weeks. Actually, more than a few weeks. I began this book at the beginning of the year, and put it aside as I realized that I was reading not a fictional account of a life, but the very true thoughts of a writer who has put his fingerprints over much of what I know of French thought in that era.

7 Bildungsroman Books You Must Read in 2026
In the vast landscape of literature, few genres capture the essence of human growth as poignantly as the bildungsroman. Derived from the German words “bildung” (education or formation) and “roman” (novel), a bildungsroman chronicles the psychological, moral, and emotional development of its protagonist from youth to adulthood. These stories resonate because they mirror our own journeys—full of trials, triumphs, mistakes, and revelations. Whether you are a seasoned reader or new to this genre, exploring these novels allows us to reflect on identity, purpose, and the intricate process of becoming ourselves.
