«Micromégas» is the volume of philosophical tales by Voltaire, published by Larousse in paperback (142 pages, in French).
The volume brings together three philosophical tales: in «Micromégas», a being from another planet converses about the limits of knowledge; in «Le monde comme il va», Babouc judges an imaginary city; in «Jeannot et Colin», two friends of different standing show social vanity. Voltaire combines irony and humour with moral reflection.
Complete edition from the Petits Classiques Larousse collection, with an introduction to the author, chronology, reading questions and exercises.
Aimed at secondary school students and readers seeking an annotated edition of French classics.
