«Le Monde comme il va» is Voltaire's philosophical tale, published by Nathan in the Carrés Classiques Collège collection in a French paperback edition.
Babouc, a naive young man, is sent to the capital of Persia by an angel to find out whether its inhabitants deserve to be destroyed or saved. The story works as social satire: through the customs and vices Babouc observes, Voltaire denounces corruption, hypocrisy and injustice, and raises a reflection on the balance between a society's flaws and virtues.
French educational edition with complete text and support tools for the student. It also includes the tale «The Happy Prince» by Oscar Wilde. 89 pages.
Designed for French secondary school students: it is studied in class as an example of a philosophical tale and social denunciation, and allows analysis of the creation of imaginary worlds and satire.
