内容简介
《微型巨人》：一个天狼星的居民，身高三十七公里，来到地球，却因为人太小而找不到他们。
背景与流传
1752年的科幻小说，大概也是法国文学里的第一部。这个玩笑是认真的：从外面看，我们的重要性是个尺度问题。当那两个巨人终于找到了人，听见他们在争论形而上学时，他们放声大笑。 伏尔泰用法文写作：这里是一个旧英译本，属公共领域。引用应以原文为准。

I have therefore followed the Kehl editions, in which _Micromegas_ is preceded by this warning: This novel can be seen as an imitation of Gulliver's Travels. It contains many allusions. The dwarf of Saturn is Mr. Fontenelle. Despite his gentleness, his carefulness, his philosophy, all of which should endear him to Mr. Voltaire, he is linked with the enemies of this great man, and appears to share, if not in their hate, at least in their preemptive censures.…
