Jacques the Fatalist and His Master

"Of all the eighteenth-century philosophers, Denis Diderot is perhaps the least understood and appreciated. When one seeks the reason for this neglect combined with empty fame, one is led to consider the bewildering variety of his interests, the indifference with which he scattered his masterpieces about in manuscript form and the absence or inadequacy until recently--of full and correct translations."Diderot, Denis is the author of 'Jacques the Fatalist and His Master', published 1986 under ISBN 9780140444728 and ISBN 0140444726.
