Francois Voltaire

Micromégas and Other Short Fictions

Übersetzer: Cuffe, Theo

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive selection of Voltaire's very brief contes and melanges: tiny feats of narrative compression, each often no more than a few pages long. Their genre is something between a tale and a polemic - more gestures than stories.
