О овој е-књизи

A new translation of Denis Diderot's 1775 The Nun from the original French manuscript into American English. This edition contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophic legacy, a timeline of his works and life, and a glossary of philosophic terminology utilized in his works. "The Nun" is a famous novel written by Diderot that tells the story of Suzanne Simonin, a young woman forced into convent life against her will. The work explores themes of religious oppression, personal freedom, and the hypocrisy of the church. Diderot criticizes the rigid and oppressive institutions of his time, shedding light on the mistreatment and abuses suffered by individuals within religious orders. "The Nun" had a significant impact on discussions about the rights and autonomy of women and the need for reform within the Catholic Church. It sparked debates and controversy, with some praising its critique of religious institutions while others condemned it as sacrilegious. Notably, the novel was a favorite of French writer Gustave Flaubert, who greatly admired Diderot's portrayal of the protagonist's struggle against societal constraints.

О аутору

A friend of Rousseau, Diderot was an Enlightenment writer and Philosopher. Diderot's other works spanned a wide range of genres, including novels, scientific treatises, and art criticism. His novel "Jacques the Fatalist" explores themes of determinism and free will, while "Rameau's Nephew" is a dialogic exploration of moral relativism and the nature of genius. In his art criticism, notably his writings on the Salons (the official art exhibitions in Paris), Diderot was pioneering, blending detailed descriptions with broader philosophical reflections on art and aesthetics.
