Description: Rameau's Nephew by Denis Diderot, Ian Johnston Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A fictional conversation written by Denis Diderot, one of the key figures of the French Enlightenment. Publisher Description Rameaus Nephew is a fictional conversation written by Denis Diderot, one of the key figures of the French Enlightenment. Composed over many years and exploding onto the French literary scene when it was first released, in form and content it is unique in French literature. In a famous Parisian chess café, a down-and-out ("HIM") accosts a former acquaintance ("ME") who has more or less made good. They trade stories and satirise the society in which they move, one of extreme inequality, corruption, and envy, where mediocrity is allowed to flourish. They gossip about the circle of hangers-on in which the down-and-out abides and discuss the nature of genius, good and evil, chess, music, and art. And towards half past five, when the warning bell of the Opera sounds, they part, going their separate ways.The book fascinated Goethe, Hegel, Engels, and Freud in turn, achieving a literary-philosophical status that no other work by Diderot shares. This edition offers a brand new translation of Diderots famous dialogue. Author Biography Denis Diderot was born at Langres in eastern France in 1713. He was groomed from a young age for a career in the Church but rebelled and persuaded his father to allow him to complete his education in Paris. Along with his editorship of the Encyclopédie (1747–73), he produced works on mathematics, medicine, the life sciences, economics, drama, and painting; wrote two plays and a novel; and created the Salons (1759–81). He died in 1784.
