«Jacques le fataliste et son maître» is the philosophical novel by Denis Diderot, published by Gallimard in paperback (416 pages, in French).
Jacques and his master converse during a journey; as Jacques is about to tell the story of his loves, the narrative is interrupted and gives way to other stories and characters. Diderot alternates narrative voices and digressions to reflect on freedom, chance and fatalism, with the idea that everything that happens is written above.
Written between 1765 and 1784, it was published in instalments in the Correspondance littéraire between 1778 and 1780. The edition is by Yvon Belaval and belongs to the Folio classique collection.
For readers of eighteenth-century French literature and of novels that explore destiny and freedom.
