検索キーワード： "Voltaire" 短編小説

Micromegas es un cuento filosófico de Voltaire publicado en 1752. Se trata de las aventuras de un habitante (Micromegas) de un planeta del sistema de Sirio y un habitante de Saturno que se instruyen mutuamente y viajan por el espacio en busca de nuevos conocimientos, llegando finalmente a descubrir a los humanos.

Una historia que conjuga el bien, el mal y el destino del hombre.

These two classic coming-of-age stories by Voltaire parody the romanticism of his day with the ruthless wit that has made him the undisputed master of social commentary.

Something between a tale and a polemic, these 'fables of reason' are feats of narrative compression and contain much of Voltaire's best and funniest writing. From ribald tales of adultery to conversations between cosmic travellers, the stories in this collection pose moral, philosophical and social questions. Listener and protagonist alike find their assumptions challenged as Voltaire mingles rationality and fantasy.
