About This Book

Un noble envoyé cherche à observer l'homme à l'état naturel et rencontre un homme qui raconte sa jeunesse en milieu sauvage, ses premiers désirs et un amour profond, puis ses voyages vers les sociétés civilisées. Le texte combine récit de mémoire et méditation philosophique, critiquant les récits contradictoires des voyageurs et examinant si la bonté, la cruauté ou les mœurs proviennent de la nature ou de l'éducation. La narration insiste sur la force de l'instinct, la fragilité de la mémoire et les transformations imposées par les lois et les usages sociaux.
