I really liked this book! My enjoyment tailed off at the end a little, but this was a book I’m glad I have studied.

Voltaire's "L'Ingénu" is a satirical novella that cleverly critiques the social and religious conventions of 17th-century France. Through the story of an innocent Huron raised in France, Voltaire exposes the hypocrisy and absurdity of French society. The protagonist's naive perspective serves as a lens through which Voltaire explores themes of religious intolerance, cultural differences, and the clash between reason and superstition. With wit and irony, Voltaire delivers a funny commentary on the human condition.
