"The Black and the White" is a satirical tale by Voltaire that explores the absurdity of racism and prejudice. The story follows a white European who turns black and a black African who turns white, highlighting the arbitrary nature of racial discrimination. Through humor and wit, Voltaire challenges societal norms and exposes the irrationality of such distinctions. Read in English, unabridged.
