A review by dorianjozai
Micromegas by Voltaire
4.0
“our existence is a point, our lifespan an instant, our planet an atom. Hardly do we begin to learn a little when death arrives, before we get any experience. As for me, I do not dare make any plans.”
A good short story that shows us how infinitely small we are and how ephemeral life is. That amongst planets, commets and stars we are minuscule particles flying around in a not so big rock in a not so big galaxy. Micromegas was funny, witty and a quick read for those who are interested on the point of life.
Loved the message about knowledge and the meaning of life!
