Jacques The Fatalist by Denis Diderot. New York. 1986. Penguin. 1st Penguin Classic Paperback Edition. Introduction and Notes By Martin Hall. Translated From The French By Michael Henry. 261 pages. The cover shows a portrait of Diderot by L. M. van Loo,
in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (photo: Giraudon). 0140444726... Denis Diderot is among the great writers of the Enlightenment and in Jacques the Fatalist he challenged the artificialities of the conventional French fiction of the period. The world of Jacques is not a fixed and settled one where events are easily assessed and interpreted; on the contrary, it is a world of dizzying variety and unpredictability. For nothing is quite as it seems and an alarming proliferation of anecdotes, characters and philosophical problems continues to spring up around the apparently central theme of the relationship between Jacques and his master, in a skilled and devastating assault on the supremacy of the stylized novel. '[A] feast of intelligence, humour and fantasy. . . Without Jacques le Fataliste the history of the novel remains obscure and incomplete. . . its true greatness is only perceptible when it is placed beside DON QUIXOTE, TOM JONES or ULYSSES' - Milan Kundera.]]> 1796 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Feb 23 12:33:44 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 12:57:47 -0800 2009 60841460 269132 262265 0140444726 9780140444728 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173233136m/262265.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173233136s/262265.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/262265.Jacques_the_Fatalist_and_His_Master 3.85 299 1796 5 0 false Tue Dec 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jun 23 16:11:54 -0700 2009 Tue Dec 15 18:31:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 25283874 113050 18212 0192838741 9780192838742 22 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166890158m/18212.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166890158s/18212.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18212.Jacques_the_Fatalist 3.85 299 1796 4 0 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 01:25:12 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 21:51:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 51782548 947209 18212 0192838741 9780192838742 22 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166890158m/18212.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166890158s/18212.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18212.Jacques_the_Fatalist 3.85 299 1796 4 0 false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 00:07:53 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 09:03:43 -0800 2009 30419725 1403985 4254376 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1219028699m/4254376.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1219028699s/4254376.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4254376.Jacques_the_Fatalist 3.85 299
