Though widely banned after its publication, it propelled Voltaire to literary stardom and remains one of the most popular French novels ever written.

His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to tragedy.
