«La Religieuse» is the 18th-century French novel by Denis Diderot, published by Flammarion in paperback (246 pages, in French).
The novel follows Suzanne Simonin, a young woman forced by her parents to enter a convent despite lacking a vocation. Suzanne's resistance and her desire to annul her vows clash with the institution's rigidity: the mother superiors move from trust to harassment, and the young woman becomes a victim of continual humiliations and punishments.
The novel, originally published in 1796, is set in 18th-century France.
For readers of French classics, philosophical novels, and stories about oppression and individual freedom.
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.
