About This Novel
Everything is questioned, everything is a game, everything is a pastime. Kundera's masterpiece of drama pays homage to the Enlightenment thinker Diderot, exploring the absurdity of the modern world through a fantastic journey through the eighteenth century. "Jacques and His Master" is Kundera's masterpiece. The script was completed in 1971 and has been staged in Czechoslovakia, France, the United States and Australia. It is recognized as one of the masterpieces of contemporary drama. This play is adapted from the novel "Jacques the Fatalist and His Master" by French Enlightenment thinker Diderot. The story begins with the wandering experience of Jacques and his master. During the journey, the master and servant not only constantly reflected and debated on the popular social topics at the time, from religion, class to male-female relations, and moral ethics, but also told various interesting stories in a joking tone. These overwhelming themes, endless episodes, and a large number of digressions make the plot of the entire script intricate and constitute the greatest pleasure in reading the script.
