“Let us read and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”

― Voltaire



Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties; despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.



This collectors edition contains Voltaires History of the War of 1741, The History of the Russian Empire under Peter the Great, and more!
