作者简介

Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet (November 21, 1694 – May 30, 1778), was a towering figure of the French Enlightenment, whose works and ideas influenced the European cultural and intellectual landscape. A versatile writer, Voltaire produced works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, historical and scientific works, over 21,000 letters, and over two thousand books and pamphlets. He is remembered for his wit, criticism of Christianity, especially the Roman Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state. 'Micromegas' epitomizes Voltaire's satirical genius and his skilled use of the philosophical tale as a vehicle for his enlightened ideas. First published in 1752, the novella stands as a seminal work in the genre of science fiction, showcasing his criticism of the hubris of human knowledge and the societal norms of his time through a cosmic journey. Utilizing a distant, extraterrestrial perspective, Voltaire questions the relative importance of human endeavors and the nature of intellectual discovery. His ability to intertwine entertainment with profound enquiry places him among the defining figures of modern European literature, resonating with readers centuries after his passing. Voltaire's influence extends beyond literature into the realms of philosophy, politics, and social reform, and his legacy continues to encourage critical thought and the pursuit of intellectual freedom.
