«L'Ingénu» is Voltaire's philosophical tale, published in 2002 by Magnard in paperback (157 pages, in French).
A young Huron of Breton descent arrives in Saint-Malo in 1689, reunites with his family and falls in love. To marry, he needs an officer's commission, but his naive sincerity lands him in the Bastille. Voltaire thus satirises religious intolerance and social conventions, alternating parody with philosophical argument.
Number 48 in Magnard's Classiques & Contemporains collection; educational edition with complete text.
Aimed at secondary and high school students in France; useful as support for analysing the argumentation of Enlightenment philosophers.
