L'Ingénu (ENGLISH‪)‬

L'Ingénu (French: [lɛ̃ʒeny]), translated into English under various titles including The Huron, The Sincere Huron, Pupil of Nature and Master Simple, is a satirical novella by the French philosopher Voltaire, published in 1767. It tells the story of a Huron called "Child of Nature" who, after having crossed the Atlantic to England, crosses into Brittany, France in the 1690s. Upon arrival, a prior notices depictions of his brother and sister-in-law, whom they deduce to be the Huron's parents – making him French.
