"The Innocent" was written in 1767. It is a philosophical novel with the purpose of criticizing the darkness and decadence of the French aristocratic upper class society. It is also a shot of Voltaire's cynical arrow towards the feudal autocracy. "The Innocent" is not like "Zadig", which is based on ancient exotic countries and full of magical and mysterious colors, nor is it like "Candide", which travels all over Europe and is full of adventure legend style.
