Micromegas is a six-hundred-and-fifty-year-old,
thirty-nine-kilometre-high giant from the planet Sirius who can
speak a thousand languages and has been expelled from his homeland
for writing a heretical tract. On Saturn he befriends the local
secretary of the Academy of Sciences - a comparative dwarf, being
only two kilometres high - and the two decide to travel to earth
together, where they will make startling discoveries about human
nature. At once a story-length Bildungsroman and a philosophical
tale, 'Micromegas' is a classic Enlightenment text, and is
accompanied in this volume by thirteen other pieces - including
'Plato's Dream' and 'Memnon' - all in a new translation by
acclaimed French specialist Douglas Parmee.
