Jacques the Fatalist is one of the masterpieces of the French Enlightenment, written by the philosopher and writer Denis Diderot. Inheriting the Cervantine tradition and the style of Laurence Sterne, the novel chronicles the adventures and caustic dialogues between a servant and his master as they travel without a fixed destination. Through its pages, Diderot brilliantly and relentlessly portrays the human condition and the world of his time. This Catalan edition, published by La Magrana, includes introductory texts by Raül Garrigassait and Marina Garcés, who analyze the work's enduring relevance as a classic that continues to fascinate contemporary readers.
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.
