Jacques Der Fatalist Und Sein Herr by Denis Diderot
A witty, digressive travel-dialogue in which a worldly valet insists that events are predetermined while his master questions fate, virtue and moral responsibility; the narrative unfolds through nested anecdotes, playful interruptions from a self-aware storyteller, and repeated philosophical exchanges about love, freedom and chance, mixing irony, comedy and skepticism to probe whether people shape their destinies or are merely following a script.
