Packaged in Bildungsroman format and philosophical fairy tales, Micromegas is a classic Enlightenment text similar to a 'semi novel short story'.
There is a giant who is old, namely 650 years old, and very tall, namely 39 km. This giant comes from the Sirius Planet and can speak 1,000 languages. He was expelled from the planet of his birth because he wrote a lot of heretic treatise. In his journey, he went to Planet Saturn and made friends with a Secretary of the Science Academy at that place. Secretary is relatively broken compared to himself because it is only 2 km high, even though it is human size, it is still giant. These two giants, one jangkung and the other is broken—so they are called Micro-Megas—itute for a walk to Earth. Their goal is to investigate how human properties are actually.
As a literary work in 1752, Micromegas is full of cute critical reflections from Voltaire, philosopher and French famous satiricals. Together with other stories, Voltaire's short stories in this book are the first and important breakthrough in literary history. How could it not be, in the 1752, there were French people who imagined there were two outer space or alien creatures—from Planet Sirius and Planet Saturn—walking on Earth to research humans.
