"The Man of Forty Crowns" is a satirical short story by Voltaire, highlighting the irrationality of religious dogma and superstition. The protagonist receives an inheritance of forty crowns under the condition that he marries a woman he has never met. This absurd situation leads to a humorous exploration of societal norms and blind obedience to tradition. Voltaire's wit and sarcasm shine in this critique of 18th-century French society. Read in English, unabridged.
