LuÃs Vaz de Camões All Books Editorial Review
This editorial review covers two books: “The Lusads” translated by Landeg White and “The Confessions” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The former book is a fascinating debate among ancient Greek philosophers, discussing the existence and nature of gods, while the latter is an insightful autobiography by Rousseau, regarded as the first modern autobiography. The Confessions depict Rousseau's radical life with vivid immediacy. Rousseau was a brilliant man with an entertaining insight into human nature, although he was also a bit bizarre at times. “The Lusads” provides an interesting insight into how religious thinkers, without the benefit of special revelation, reason and argue about God. The book discusses the pagan faith in God, which speaks of God as the "God of gods" or the "ruler of the universe" greater than any being.

Pros
- “The Lusads” provides an interesting insight into how religious thinkers, without the benefit of special revelation, reason and argue about God, discussing the pagan faith in God and its similarities to biblical language.
- “The Confessions” pays a remarkable insight into the first fifty-three years of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's radical life and relives his life with vivid immediacy.
