"Voltaire's Romances, Complete in One Volume" by Voltaire is a collection of satirical romances written in the late 19th century. The text showcases Voltaire's sharp wit and criticism of societal issues and religious dogma while presenting whimsical tales that often blend humor with profound moral lessons. The collection features various characters across its stories, including fantastical beings like a white bull and a serpent, as well as historical figures that provide a rich tapestry of narratives. The opening of the volume introduces readers to the melancholy Princess Amasidia, who longs for her missing lover, an elusive figure entangled in royal betrayal and magic. As she mourns, she encounters an extraordinary white bull, whom she wishes to possess, but the presence of an old woman and a serpent complicates her desires. The wise Mambres, a magician, offers sage advice amidst these curious happenings, setting the stage for a playful yet thoughtful exploration of themes like love, identity, and the absurdities of life in an enchanting narrative filled with allegorical depth.
