Summary: "Novelas de Voltaire — Tomo Primero" by Voltaire is a collection of philosophical tales written during the 18th century. The work encapsulates diverse narratives like "Como Anda el Mundo" and "Memnon," which explore themes of human folly, morality, and the absurdities of life through the lens of satire. The characters, such as Babuco and Memnon, are drawn into various adventures that reveal the intricacies and contradictions of human nature and societal norms. At the start of "Como Anda el Mundo," the character Babuco, chosen by the angel Ituriel, embarks on a journey to observe the state of the Persian Empire. He discovers the futility and excesses of war as he encounters both Persian and Indian soldiers, each ignorant of the true reasons behind their conflict. Through his observations, Babuco witnesses the horrifying brutality of battle and the absurdity of human motivations, leading him to question the morality of annihilating a city like Persepolis. His explorations continue as he navigates the complexities and vices of the inhabitants he meets, revealing a city filled with both noble gestures and profound depravity, evoking deep contemplation about humanity's inherent flaws.
