  Diderot has been admired as a novelist, philosopher, and encyclopedist, but he is less well known as a writer of short fiction. This volume presents his five remarkable philosophical tales including This Is Not a Story, On the Inconsistency of Public Opinion Regarding Our Private Action, and Supplement to Bougainville's Voyage, as well as The Two Friends From Bourbonne and Conversation of a Father with His Children: or the Danger of Setting Oneself Above the Law, both of which are here translated into English for the first time.
