Voltaire was a leading figure in the French bourgeois Enlightenment in the eighteenth century and was known as the "King of French Thought." Voltaire was mainly engaged in drama creation throughout his life and wrote more than 50 plays, most of which were tragedies. The most valuable of his literary works are philosophical novels. This is a new genre he created, using a joking tone to tell absurd stories, alluding to and satirizing reality, and elucidating profound philosophies.
"Selected Novels of Voltaire: A Collection of Short Philosophical Stories" includes classic novels such as "The World Like This", "Little Monkey King", "Menon", "White and Black", "Yeno and Gauland", "Two Comforted People", "The Story of a Kind Brahmin".
Reader comments
The stories in this book are really interesting! Every story has a profound philosophy. Just like the smart adults around me, they can always understand great truths from simple things. And the characters in these stories are all very personal, which reminds me of my friends, and how we can always learn from each other's experiences. I think this book can not only make us happy to read, but also make us smarter!
Very good, the plot is okay, but there are some typographical errors.
