Diderot's letters to his mistress Sophie Volland show him at the height of his powers and reveal an unrivalled panorama of his world-the life of literary Paris, the making of the great Encycbpedie, the endless discussions of the radical philosophes. Gay and serious, witty and uninhibited, these letters still astonish by their spontaneity, well caught by Peter France in this first English translation.
