Audiobooks by Denis Diderot

"Featuring some of the most brilliant and notable sayings from a man living on the cusp of a revolutionising world, ‘100 Quotes by Denis Diderot’ uncovers one of the most influential – yet almost forgotten – figures of the Age of Enlightenment. French writer, philosopher, and art critic Diderot is most famous for being the co-creator and editor of the ‘Encyclopédie’, which featured many contributors and is now regarded as one of the precursors of the French Revolution. This impressive collection captures his best musings and thoughts, ideal for those looking to explore one of the greatest thinkers of the age. - Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was a French writer, philosopher, art critic, and co-founder and editor of the ‘Encyclopédie’. Having been passed over by the Académie Française and received little recognition for his work, it wasn’t until Empress Catherine the Great appointed Diderot as her librarian in 1766 that his reputation – and finances - improved. He remains today one of the most prominent figures during the Age of the Enlightenment, and a strong influence on the beginnings of the French Revolution."

The Nun

"Forced by her parents to take holy orders, 16-year-old Suzanne is trapped in a monastic life and endures harrowing physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The depiction of her struggle for autonomy is coated in the mysticism and madness of her environment, as the overwhelming effects of power are laid bare. Diderot, a key figure of the Enlightenment, uses the novel to question the moral authority of the Church and pour scorn on its complicity in oppression and intolerance. Although it was begun as an elaborate practical joke aimed at luring an old friend back to Paris, The Nun (‘La Religieuse’) developed into a complex, compelling work that – when published complete – captured the zeitgeist of late 18th-century France and enjoyed immediate success. In this multi-cast recording, Diderot’s extraordinary creation is newly alive."

Denis Diderot (Author), Justin Avoth, Lucy Scott, Nigel Pilkington, Sarah Lambie (Narrator)
