Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a satirical look at French Enlightenment philosophy and society, offering a complex tapestry of fictional and historical characters whose interconnected stories reveal the fallacies and truths of the era's ideals. The novel juxtaposes the lives of two young men in 18th-century Paris, their naivete and enthusiasm contrasting with the hypocrisy and corruption that surrounds them. One is a young provincial who befriends a cynical Spanish nobleman and becomes his secretary; the other is a former monk who arrives in Paris with grand ambitions and a naive faith in the Enlightenment. Together, they witness the gap between the Enlightenment's lofty ideals and the harsh realities of the world, as their adventures lead them through the salons of the elite, encounters with philosophers, and even a run-in with an alleged werewolf. This complex and insightful work explores the contradictions between theory and practice, the power of authority, and the nature of human nature itself, offering a nuanced portrait of an extraordinary period in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243295593_0
