Easy to read famous philosophical novel - Voltaire packs a lot in this short book. No long descriptions, no long character development, a bit of humor and sarcasm, a lot of adventure, a nice life lesson. In the end, we must cultivate our garden.

I've met Voltaire's Signore Pococurante character hundreds of times before.
