Description
1761 Voltaire English Smollet Dramas Henriade Oedipus Prodigal Son Theatre 9v
“Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboat”– 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.
“Works of M. de Voltaire”, translated by Tobias Smollet, features a stunning, engraved frontispiece. It also features some of the finest works of Voltaire and was published during his lifetime!
This volume contains Voltaire’s dramatic works including ‘The Henriade,’ ‘Oedipus,’ ‘The Prodigal Son’, and other miscellaneous poems.
