Not just a science fiction tale about a planet-hopping giant from
outer space visiting our world, but also a commentary on society
and the scientific knowledge at the time of its composition,
"Micromegas" reflects on man's place in the universe, between two
infinities. This has remained one of Voltaire's best-loved tales.
This volume also features "La Prude", a comedy inspired by
Wycherley's "Plain Dealer", the "Conseils a M. Racine sur son poeme
de La Religion", where Voltaire criticises the work of Louis
Racine, son of the illustrious playwright, as well as "Le
Preservatif ou critique des 'Observations sur les ecrits
modernes'", in which the author targets his personal enemy the abbe
Desfontaines and his literary journal.
