On Saturn he befriends the local secretary of the Academy of Sciences – a comparative dwarf, being only two kilometres high – and the two decide to travel to earth together, where they will make startling discoveries about human nature.At once a story-length Bildungsroman and a philosophical tale, ‘Micromegas’ is a classic Enlightenment text, and is accompanied in this volume by thirteen other pieces – including ‘Plato’s Dream’ and ‘Memnon’ – all in a new translation by acclaimed French specialist Douglas Parmée.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: Douglas ParméeContributor: Douglas Parmée (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionAuthor: VoltaireSubtitle: Newly Translated and AnnotatedRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
