«Micromégas / La Princesse de Babylone» is the volume of philosophical tales by Voltaire published by Hachette Education in paperback (224 pages, in French).
It brings together two philosophical tales by Voltaire: «Micromégas», where a giant from Sirius and a dwarf from Saturn travel through the universe and discover human smallness, and «The Princess of Babylon», a parody of a fairy tale that compares political systems. The irony of both stories invites tolerance in the face of fanaticism and war.
French edition from the Bibliolycée collection (no. 48): complete annotated text, reading questions and analysis activities.
Aimed at secondary and high school French students, and at readers who want to discover Voltaire in his original language.
