«Micromégas - L'Ingénu» is a volume with two philosophical tales by Voltaire, published by Pocket in paperback (246 pages, in French).
In Micromégas, a giant from a planet orbiting Sirius travels to Earth and converses with humans, tiny in his eyes; the tale questions the limits of knowledge through the contrast of scales. In L'Ingénu, a young man raised among the Hurons arrives in France and his frankness clashes with the country's conventions.
Edition published in 1998 in the Classiques de Pocket collection (No. 6083), with complete text and keys to the work.
Suitable for students of French and for those approaching Voltaire with didactic support.
François-Marie Arouet, known by his pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, philosopher (philosophe), satirist, and historian. Famous for his wit and his criticism of Christianity and of slavery, Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
