Voltaire's weapons of choice? Satire, wit, and absurdity.
His target? The Church and State.
His goal? Nothing short of enlightenment.
In this exciting new edition, WordFire Press presents A Voltaire Triptych: Micromegas, Plato's Dream, and Candide, compiled and edited by Carrie Christopher. With a compelling foreword from Arthur C. Clarke award-winning writer and British scholar Adam Roberts, readers will gain new insights into Voltaire's writings.
In Micromegas, the space-travelling giant from Sirius watches the lowly ants of Earth in one of the world's first science fiction stories. Is the protagonist a veiled homage to the genius of Sir Isaac Newton? Read Roberts's foreword, along with the story, and decide for yourself.
The fantastical Plato's Dream, told from the perspective of the beings who created the solar system, leaves readers with a compelling question.
Candide, the beloved novella that inspires artists to this day, including luminaries Kevin J. Anderson and the late Neil Peart's Clockwork Angels collaborations.
The fresh perspectives from foreword author Adam Roberts bring [CC1] these classics to light and shares a modern context for the enduring works of Voltaire. A Voltaire Triptych is a must-have edition for lovers of satire, rollicking adventure, and the journey towards enlightenment.
