<br> In his brilliant and witty dialogue, Denis Diderot invents a chance encounter in a Paris café between two acquaintances. Their talk ranges broadly across art, music, education, and the contemporary scene, as the nephew of composer Rameau, amoral and bohemian, alternately shocks and amuses the moral, bourgeois figure of his interlocutor. Exuberant and highly entertaining, the dialogue exposes the corruption of society in Diderot's characteristic philosophical exploration.<br> The debates of the French Enlightenment speak to us vividly in this sparkling new translation, which also includes the only English translation of <em>First Satire</em>, a related work that provides the context for <em>Rameau's Nephew</em>, Diderot's 'second satire.'
