Trois contes

Rate this book
On connaît Rousseau comme l’auteur d’un seul roman, La Nouvelle Héloïse, son chef-d’œuvre de presque mille pages ; on sait moins qu’il pratiqua à plusieurs reprises la forme brève du conte et de la nouvelle, explorant une variété de situations et de modalités d’écriture. On présente ici trois de ces brefs récits, qui livrent un échantillon du savoir-faire littéraire d’un philosophe fasciné par le « pays des chimères », ce monde qui filtrait son rapport au réel

Genevan philosopher and writer Jean Jacques Rousseau held that society usually corrupts the essentially good individual; his works include The Social Contract and Émile (both 1762).

This important figure in the history contributed to political and moral psychology and influenced later thinkers. Own firmly negative view saw the post-hoc rationalizers of self-interest, apologists for various forms of tyranny, as playing a role in the modern alienation from natural impulse of humanity to compassion. The concern to find a way of preserving human freedom in a world of increasingly dependence for the satisfaction of their needs dominates work. This concerns a material dimension and a more important psychological dimensions. Rousseau a fact that in the modern world, humans come to derive their very sense of self from the opinions as corrosive of freedom and destructive of authenticity. In maturity, he principally explores the first political route, aimed at constructing institutions that allow for the co-existence of equal sovereign citizens in a community; the second route to achieving and protecting freedom, a project for child development and education, fosters autonomy and avoids the development of the most destructive forms of self-interest. Rousseau thinks or the possible co-existence of humans in relations of equality and freedom despite his consistent and overwhelming pessimism that humanity will escape from a dystopia of alienation, oppression, and unfreedom. In addition to contributions, Rousseau acted as a composer, a music theorist, the pioneer of modern autobiography, a novelist, and a botanist. Appreciation of the wonders of nature and his stress on the importance of emotion made Rousseau an influence on and anticipator of the romantic movement. To a very large extent, the interests and concerns that mark his work also inform these other activities, and contributions of Rousseau in ostensibly other fields often serve to illuminate his commitments and arguments.

Ini karya fiksi Rousseau pertama yang saya baca setelah diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Buku tipis sekitar 80 halaman saja, tapi tidak mudah ditamatkan.

Sampulnya sangat menarik, berwarna kuning dengan kombinasi biru. Cerah dan auranya ceria. Tapi isinya tak seceria itu.

Terdiri dari tiga cerita pendek, semuanya berakhir pada “ngomong apa si ini?” Saya kurang tahu apa pengaruh penerjemahannya yang kurang luwes, atau memang struktur ceritanya tidak terlalu kuat.

Dalam penerjemahan, ada beberapa kata ganti yang saya cermati cukup membingungkan merujuk kepada siapa. Misal -nya, kata ganti orang ketiga. -nya ini ditujukan kepada tokoh siapa karena maknanya jadi bisa ganda. Perlu mengulangi lagi untuk saya bisa memahaminya. Rio Johan sudah dikenal sebagai penulis, tapi sebagai penerjemah baru ini saya membaca hasil terjemahannya.

Secara tema, ada tersirat pemikiran filosofis karena Rousseau sendiri adalah seorang pemikir dan filsuf. Hanya saja, apakah dia ‘berbakat’ dalam hal menulis fiksi, tampaknya masih perlu banyak membaca karya lainnya. Namun, setidaknya dari buku ini saya tahu bahwa Rousseau yang selama ini dikenal sebagai bukan penulis fiksi, telah juga membuat karya lain di luar apa yang publik kenal selama ini.

Terima kasih Moooi Pustaka telah menerbitkan dan menerjemahkan karya ini. Berharap ke depan ada karya Rousseau yang lebih menarik untuk diterjemahkan agar pembaca tidak ‘kapok’ membaca karyanya.
