This is not a story by Denis Diderot
"This is not a story" by Denis Diderot is a work written in 1772. The piece contains two contrasting tales of devotion and betrayal. In the first, a man spends years amassing fortune for a woman who exploits his absence. In the second, a woman sacrifices everything for a man who ultimately abandons her when she's no longer useful. Through these paired narratives, Diderot explores the complexities of human character and the
dangers of judging people too quickly. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
