«L'Ingénu» is Voltaire's philosophical novel, published by Editions Larousse in paperback (199 pages, in French).
A young Huron arrives in Saint-Malo in 1689 and, with his naive gaze, confronts the conventions of seventeenth-century French society. Baptized and in love with Mlle de Saint-Yves, he distinguishes himself against the English, and his frankness takes him from Versailles to the Bastille. Voltaire thus criticizes the religion and customs of the era.
Work originally published in 1767. Edition from the Classiques Larousse collection with complete text.
Aimed at students of French and those approaching eighteenth-century French classics.
François-Marie Arouet, known by his pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, philosopher (philosophe), satirist, and historian. Famous for his wit and his criticism of Christianity and of slavery, Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
