The savage contempt with which Voltaire derided the bureaucracies of his day and his gift for creating exotic panoramas find their perfect merger in these satirical stories. With ruthless wit the master of social commentary dissects science and spiritual faith, ethics and legal systems, love and human vanity. [From the back cover of the first, 1961 edition.]
