The titular braggart recounts his globetrotting exploits, assuring us along the way of their complete veracity. Perfect for fans of Candide, although its themes are more literary and political than philosophical.

“I know these things appear strange, but if the shadow of a doubt can remain on any person’s mind, I saw, let him take a voyage [to the moon] himself, and then he will know I am a traveller of veracity” (86)
