Fiction Fiction Jacques the fatalist

Denis Diderot

1785

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.
