Ο Αγαθούλης by Voltaire
"Ο Αγαθούλης" by Voltaire is a satirical novel first published anonymously in 1759. The story follows the simple hero Agathoulis, who is exiled from his German homeland after embracing the beautiful Baroness Kynegonde. His journey across Europe and beyond becomes a relentless series of disasters, wars, earthquakes, and improbable rescues that mock his teacher Panglossos's optimistic philosophy that this is "the best of all possible worlds." Through humor and irony, Voltaire satirizes
aristocratic arrogance, religious hypocrisy, slavery, and naive optimism itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
