Comedy from a French master
— feeling amazing 
I listened to a fantastic audio version narrated perfectly by Jack Davenport. This is timeless, bold, black comedy that takes sharp aim at its 18th century targets: royal despots, class differences, gender, race, pointless optimism... It's fascinating how current so much of this is. Voltaire and Swift pointed the way for writers like Twain, Heller, Vonnegut.
