«La religiosa» is the novel by Denis Diderot, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (198 pages, in Spanish).
Suzanne Simonin, a young woman with no religious vocation, is forced by her family to enter a convent. In the first person she recounts life in seclusion, the harshness of the rules and the abuses she suffers. The novel denounces religious institutions, hypocrisy and the lack of freedom in eighteenth-century France.
The novel was originally published posthumously in 1796; this Spanish-language edition is from 1979.
A work for readers of French classics, philosophical novel and social and historical critique.
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.
