About This Novel
"The Innocent" is a masterpiece of Voltaire's late philosophical novels. This edition adopts Mr. Fu Lei's translation. The naive man lived in a tribe in Canada since he was a child. When he returned to France as an adult, he was incompatible with the hypocritical and cunning customs and was imprisoned in the Bastille. Here he met the Jansenist scholar Galton. The two became close friends in prison, and the naive man's understanding of the truth of the world was further enhanced. At the same time, the naive man's fiancée, Miss St. Ivo, succumbed to the powerful in order to save him, and finally died in grief and anger. The sincere feelings between the two moved the nobles, and the naive man was promoted by the nobles, "becoming an excellent officer, and gaining praise from gentlemen." This book also includes famous philosophical novels such as "White and Black" and "Yeno and Gaolan".
