Summary "Les guêpes — séries 1 & 2" by Alphonse Karr is a collection of satirical essays written in the mid-19th century. The author uses this work to explore and comment on the social and political issues of his time in a candid and often humorous manner. Karr aims to entertain while provoking thought about the absurdities of authority, the press, and societal norms. The opening of the collection introduces the author’s intention to tackle contemporary topics through a frank and irreverent lens. Karr expresses his disdain for the current state of journalism and politics, reflecting on the prevalence of mediocrity and deceit. He establishes a tone of lighthearted skepticism, encouraging readers to join him in critiquing those in power, while also hinting at a playful camaraderie with his audience. The tone is set for a mix of wit and insight, as Karr aims to engage the reader in conversations about society's follies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
