Micromegas

ebook

French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire is best remembered for his novel Candide, but he was a prolific writer who produced works in virtually every literary genre. In this story, Voltaire actually plays a significant role in inventing a new literary genre—science fiction. Micromegas is a satirical work in the vein of Swift's Gulliver's Travels. In it, a giant being from outer space visits Earth and gives his impression of the planet's people, cultures, and traditions.
