"Frightening satire convents," says Diderot himself, surely scandalous for those who imagined, as was long the fashion to believe or at least proclaim that the high walls of convents protected the souls of pure vile temptations of the world ...
Since the twentieth century, we know that "hell is other people" and that all social life, she was a recluse, and perhaps even more so reclusive, reveals all the failings of the human soul, and all his perversions. The convents are no exception to the rule, and Diderot in his account seems to have gathered the worst depravity that may have to take place there ... and they are far from having the fun of those that can read in the Satyricon ! Jealousies, pettiness, harassment, cruelty, punishment of all kinds, sadistic or masochistic, homosexuality and of course, nothing is spared. Poor Sister Suzanne, a beautiful young girl whose only crime is to be an adulterous woman, but the fault of his mother into taking the veil despite his will, will see all colors before reaching, perhaps, to escape from this hateful and hypocritical prison.
If the building is not necessarily a fault in a literary work, I admit that the sort of complacency with which all these horrors are detailed, written by Suzanne naive that Diderot did talk about me little disgusted.
Not my best memory audio book, despite the talent of Apple, a reader sensitive as I love elsewhere. A return on Literature audio.com.
