«Le Plus Grand Philosophe de France» is the picaresque novel by Joann Sfar, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (576 pages, in French).
Pietr Cohen, a Dutch Jewish pirate and disciple of Spinoza, enters politics to ban the slave trade. A count obsessed with being France's greatest philosopher neglects his wife, and a Black prince sets sail for France believing it to be the land of sugar. Sfar blends satire and adventure with reflection on faith and the meaning of existence.
The work was originally published in 2014; this edition is from June 2016.
For readers of literary fiction who appreciate absurd humor and irreverent takes on the eighteenth century.
Joann Sfar is a French comics artist, comic book creator, novelist, and film director.
