"This is Not a Tale," which gives title to this collection, is a story constructed through a superposition of planes, resulting in a cascade of narrative levels. The dialogue between the author and the imaginary listener creates a constant tension of disbelief and an atmosphere of deliberate distancing. Also included are "The Two Friends of Bourbonne" and "The Lady of La Carlière," examples of the author's ideological vision and his ability to construct effective narratives. Finally, "Authors and Critics" offers an internal view of the creative act.
Denis Diderot was a French philosopher, art critic, and writer, best known for serving as co-founder, chief editor, and contributor to the Encyclopédie along with Jean le Rond d'Alembert. He was a prominent figure during the Age of Enlightenment.
