If the beginning of the book is a little dry, we let quickly seduced by the misadventures of young Benjamin lost in the midst of a capitalist world he understands nothing. A rather successful rewriting which, to be fully appreciated, however, requires rereading the original Voltaire.

With simplicity and humor, he gives us an interesting reflection on the world in which we live. To discover!
