thread_title:  Article title 

message: The previous plot summary has been removed because it appeared to be a straight lift from copyright material, which is clearly unacceptable (as well as lazy). But it is an important work which is referenced in discussions about the Enlightenment, the development of philosophical thought, and so on. I came to this page because I was reading JS Curl's The Victorian Celebration of Death where the description of Julie's garden in the novel is said to have influenced the design of the garden at Ermenonville where Rousseau was buried. As it stands, the article confirms that the novel was influential, but leaves me to guess what it might have been  about. Telling me to read the novel isn't helpful; given that the article has been rated as mid-importance and has now been reduced to a mere stub I hope that somebody with a knowledge of the novel will set to and correct the omission.

I used the Commodore 64 version and don't remember it having any support for background music, e.g. in the title screen.  It did have an editor for sound effects, however.
It's remotely possible that a music editor was included but we never found it; we had to figure the program out by trial and error, because the booklet in the package was for the Amiga version and didn't match the program in all aspects.

* The Atari and Amiga editions were released after 1987.
