Walter Noetico

NOTA Per onorare la memoria di Denis Diderot per il terzo centenario della sua nascita nel 2013. Ho voluto presentare questo breve romanzo, come fosse il ritrovamento di una suo inedito manoscritto, accompagnato da una lettera, inviata alla sua amata Sophie Volland, dove Diderot, racconta il suo sogno. La lettera e datata Parigi 20 Settembre 1769, pochi giorni dopo che Diderot aveva scritto: "Il Sogno di d'Alembert". Con questa immaginaria scoperta letteraria, ho desiderato riportare in vita, la contemporaneita dell'eterna universalita del pensiero del grande filosofo. Walter Noetico.

By means of honouring the memory of Denis Diderot on the occasion of the third centenary of his birth in 2013, I wished to present this short novel, as if this was his unpublished manuscript which was discovered today, accompanied by a letter sent to his beloved Sophie Volland, wherein Diderot retells his dream. The letter is dated Paris, 20th September 1769, few days after Diderot actually wrote his work entitled: "The Dream of d'Alembert". With this imaginary literary discovery, I desired to bring back to life the contemporaneity of the eternal universality of thought of the great philosopher. Walter Noetico
