The Portable Voltaire (Portable Library)

Does not include the Henriade, but otherwise good selection with Candide, etc. in good translation. One of the 100 books any educated person must read.

Well put together in chronological order of his great writings

This book has a wonderful collection of Voltaire's writings - all the necessary stuff, well-organized, and the book is nicely printed and bound. Good font, nice paper.You can open it virtually anywhere to find wondrous writing to fill ten minutes or ten hours, as the case dictates.I'm about to order another, since a borrower seems to have forgotten its rightful home!

If you're into Votaire, you'll want this book. If you're not.... you should be. Voltaire offers something for everyone. Short, powerful reads filled with his wisdom. I like that he was not so full of himself as to not have a sense of humor and be human.

good book

it's a good read

A pioneer in civil rights.

Always knew V as a deist, but now understand what it means so to be.As a practicing Christian, the metaphysics and some of the history, leaves me edgy.Now I have a real home for my faith.

L'introduction de l'éditeur, rédigée par Ben Ray Redman, est très complète, mais si succincte et délicieuse qu'elle constitue à elle seule une raison suffisante pour ajouter Le Voltaire portable à votre bibliothèque.

Excellent service.

A very interesting creative genius . Fascinating reading . He;s a man's man , someone who has well thought out ideas for the knowledge available in his time . What is particularly interesting is the similarity between the catholic Inquisition and its barbarity and that of the the Muslin terrorists today , along with his comments of religious fanaticism . He lived his beliefs and I found him to be a person with whom it would have been a great experience to spend some time with over a beer !
