Jeannot et Colin is a comedic play in three acts by Voltaire, presented in prose. First published in 1764, it satirizes societal values and the complexities of friendship through the contrasting fortunes of two childhood companions, Jeannot and Colin. Jeannot’s family gains wealth and status, leading to superficiality and social climbing, while Colin maintains simpler, more virtuous values. Voltaire uses their divergent paths to critique vanity, ambition, and the corrupting influence of wealth, advocating for sincerity and genuine human connection.This edition offers readers the opportunity to engage with a classic of French literature, exploring timeless themes of social commentary and moral philosophy through Voltaire’s sharp wit and insightful observations. A significant work for students of French language and 18th-century literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
