1
Jacques the fatalist puts into play several stories within history, some parallel, some convergent, but all masterfully articulated. All of them are inserted into a universe where there are paradoxes, humor, irony, criticism, philosophy of daily life and universal philosophy. Jacques's love story is the starting point of a delusion novel, an essential literary piece, considered the French satirical novel par excellence.
2
Susanna is a 16-and-a-half year-old girl forced by her family to enter a convent as a schoolgirl. After the novitiate, Susanna refuses to take the vows but, despite the opposition, ends up in the monastery.
3
Bitter Sátira or philosophical dialogue, a portrait of a Bohemian Paris, is a unique, personal and lucid work as few.
