The Student Vagabond

Born into an age of momentous transition both in political and intellectual thinking a man of extraordinary literary ability emerged to give impetus to a movement which has been recorded in the annals of history with a glamor yet undulled by time--philosopher and litterateur of the French Revolution his influence has been felt in all parts of the world.

Predecessor of Karl Marx and first expositor of the "volonte generale" his ideas have permeated all utopian theories of communistic society, his eloquence and apparent cogency have always carried a multitude with it, if only for a time. Inspired by the inherent goodness of all men and convinced of their possession of certain inalienable natural rights, a theory long since discarded by political thinkers, he postulated a theory of social contract, historically null and logically full of gaping flaws, but yet inspiring in its fervent trust and faith in the basic goodness of all mankind. A visionary and idealist he was without a forerunner or a model. Above all he was a describer of beauty--a describer of the passions of the human heart and of the beauties of nature.
