Jeannot et Colin by Voltaire
"Jeannot et Colin" by Voltaire is a philosophical tale published in 1764. Two childhood friends from Auvergne take divergent paths when Jeannot's family suddenly acquires wealth and a noble title, moving to Paris while Colin remains behind.

This tale explores themes of true friendship, social climbing, and the shallow nature of wealth through the contrasting
destinies of two young men. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
