Book Synopsis Complete Works of Voltaire 20B by : Voltaire
Download or read book Complete Works of Voltaire 20B written by Voltaire. This book was released on 2003-12-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twinned evils of superstition and fanaticism had been prominent in Voltaire's work since "La Henriade", but it is only with "Le Fanaticisme, ou Mahomet le prophete" that Voltaire translates this theme to the stage, creating an entirely novel adaptation of classical forms to modern political debate. Voltaire's focus is the hypocrisy of religious 'impostors', and, despite the oriental lens, early audiences were under no illusions about the unspoken Christian targets of his polemic. The first authorised editions of the play contain prose paratexts in different voices designed to provoke and challenge his reader. Both the play itself and the literary structure, reproduced with detailed commentary in this edition, offer important insight into Voltaire's evolving public campaign against fanaticism.

Book Synopsis The Quotable Voltaire by : François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) (1694-1778)
Download or read book The Quotable Voltaire written by François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) (1694-1778). This book was released on 2021-06-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of more than 2,000 books and pamphlets, Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet, 1694-1778) was one of the most prolific writers of the eighteenth century, and also one of the wittiest and most insightful. This unique collection of over 800 of Voltaire’s wisest passages and choicest bons mots runs the gamut on topics from adultery to Zoroaster, in both English and French. Drawing from a wide range of his publications, private letters, and remarks recorded by his contemporaries, The Quotable Voltaire includes material never before gathered in a single volume. English translations appear alongside the original French, and each quote is thoroughly indexed and referenced, with page numbers for both the first known publication edition of each entry and the most recent edition of Voltaire’s works. The book also features over 400 quotes about Voltaire, including commentary by eighteenth-century luminaries like Samuel Johnson, Catherine the Great, Casanova, and John Adams, as well as an eclectic assortment of modern-day personages ranging from Winston Churchill and Jorge Luis Borges to Mae West and Mike Tyson. Lavishly illustrated with nearly three dozen images of Voltaire-related art, this collection opens with a scholarly essay that recounts the great man’s life and reflects on his outsized influence on Western culture. Whether you are a Voltaire scholar or a neophyte, The Quotable Voltaire is the perfect introduction to a brilliant mind.
