NARRATIVE ANALYZES IN DENIS DIDEROT’S (ANTI)NOVELS
NARRATIVE ANALYZES IN DENIS DIDEROT’S (ANTI)NOVELS

Summary/Abstract: Great representative of the Enlightenment, Denis Diderot remained in French an universal literature as the innovator or the Romanesque structures of his time and the main publisher and founder of the Encyclopaedia (L'Encyclopédie française), work who announced the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. Even if these are work written about two centuries ago, that does not prevent his work from being considered modern. Our study is based on the idea that modernism is not limited to its time, but on the contrary, the elements that Denis Diderot has added to his (anti)novelistic writings (Rameau's Nephew, Jacques the Fatalist and his master), philosophical (Philosophical Thoughts, Letter on the Blind) and dramatic (The Natural Son, The Family Father) present him as a writer and a philosopher still current.
