About this book
In the late 18th century, as Enlightenment ideas began to challenge established norms, Voltaire’s "L'Ingénu" emerged as a sharp critique of societal hypocrisy. This novel follows the journey of a young Huron, l’Ingénu, who arrives in France, bringing with him a perspective untainted by European conventions. Through his eyes, readers encounter the absurdities of religious dogma and the complexities of cultural identity. Voltaire deftly intertwines themes of innocence and corruption, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of civilization itself. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "L'Ingénu" remains a vital exploration of the clash between enlightenment and tradition, showcasing Voltaire’s enduring relevance in discussions of morality and society.
