Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Voltaire IN 1694, when Louis XIV. Was at the height of that military glory which at once dazzled and ruined France, there was born in Paris on November 21 a little, puny, weak, sickly son. The house into which the infant was born was the ordinary house Of a thoroughly comfortable well-to-do bourgeois of the time and place. A notary was M. Arouet pere. His father had been a prosperous linen-draper and Arouet the son, shrewd and thrifty in affairs, had bought, after the custom Of his time and his profession, first one post and then another, until he was a man of some wealth and, for his class, Of some position. Among his clients he could number the Dukes Of Sully and Of Richelieu, memoir-writing saint-simon, the poet Boileau, and the immortal Ninon de l'enclos. He had a country house at Chatenay, five miles from Paris. Plenty of sound common-sense, liberal, practical, hospitable; just enough taste for literature to enjoy a doze, over a book in the evening when his day's labour was done eminently respected and respectable decently acquiescing in. The national religion as such, and with no particular faith in anything but hard work and monetary prudence not a little hasty in temper and deadly obstinate - such was Maitre Arouet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Voltaire, Vol. 1 I attempt in these volumes to exhibit to the American people the most extraordinary of Frenchmen, and one of the most extraordinary of human beings. When first I ventured, many years ago, to think of this task, I soon ceased to wonder why a subject so alluring had not been undertaken before by any one employing the whole of the existing material. Voltaire was then buried under a mountain of heterogeneous record. The attempts of essayists, even those of the first rank, to characterize him truly were in some degree frustrated by an abundance of unsorted informa tion that defied all ordinary research. Since that time the Voltairean material has continued to accumulate, and never so rapidly as during the last three years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Voltaire, Vol. 2 Frederic had gathered about him a number of peculiar characters during the eight years of his reign. At this period of his life he seemed two men in one, such a contrast was there between Frederic the head of the Prussian government, and Frederic the head of Prussian society. The chief of a state, indeed, has two kinds of duty, and needs to be two men, for it belongs to his office both to administer and to represent like the master of a great house, who in-the morning exam ines the accounts and views the leak in the roof, and in the evening receives company and beams at the head of his table. The Romans did not waste a man in having two consuls. Constitutional monarchs reign, but leave to ministers the no bler toil of ruling. The finished republic, perhaps, will reach this necessary division of labor in some suitable way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Voltaire, Vol. 2 of 2 Receiving no answer to his request to be allowed to travel, Voltaire prudently resolved to consider that silence gave consent. But he was still not a little nervous that if he took refuge in a foreign country Louis XV. Might consider himself justified in seizing the pensions Of his truant subject. And then, where was he to go It seems most likely that if it had not been for that unromantic disorder called mat de mer he would have ended his days in Pennsylvania. He had still his bizarre liking for the Quakers; and America was the country of the free. TO be sure, mal da pays was a worse and a longer lived disorder with him than the other and if he had tried Pennsylvania on one impulse, he would quickly have left it on another.

Arouet sold the notaryship which he had purchased in early life, and some years later he obtained the well-paid and very responsible office of Receiver of Fees and Fines to the Chamber of Accounts (he is sometimes styled its treasurer), an important state department which exercised jurisdiction in all matters appertaining to the complex revenues of the Crown. Besides an official residence in town, he had a country house at Chatenay, a pretty rural suburb of Paris. Madame Arouet was a friend of the famous Ninon de l'enclos (another of her husband's distinguished clients), who, after having been made love to by three generations of Frenchmen, was in her old age the centre of a rather brilliant circle of free-thinking and free-and-easy persons of both sexes (many of them belonged to the aristocracy), forming a sort of social opposition to the then gloomy and priest-ridden court at Versailles. One of Ninon's most intimate allies, in her later and latest years, was a certain Abbe cle Chateauneuf, clever, agreeable, musical, who made some figure in Paris society, and whose brother, the Marquis (m.

Book excerpt: During much of his life Voltaire's plays and verse made him the toast of society, but his barbed wit and commitment to reason also got him into trouble. Jailed twice and eventually banished by the King, he was an outspoken critic of religious intolerance and persecution. His personal life was as colourful as his intellectual one. Voltaire never married, but had long-term affairs with two women: Emilie, who died after giving birth to the child of another lover, and his niece, Marie-Louise, with whom he spent his last twenty-five years. With its tales of illegitimacy, prison, stardom, exile, love affairs and tireless battles against critics, Church and King, Roger Pearson's brilliant biography brings Voltaire vividly to life.

The phases and evolutions of the great man's character are left to be' observed through the continuous panorama of his eventful and active life. We are first introduced to a young man in whom genius with all its concomitant temptations is already revealing itself to\ a nature which, with its inborn Epicurean tastes, was easily led' through the in uence of the surrounding.

Vol taire simply lived as men of the world in his time lived. Therein lies. His only weakness, that, high as he towered in heart and intellect above the Chris, tian herd among which he lived, he did not rise above them in social morality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inimitable Nancy Mitford’s account of Voltaire’s fifteen-year relationship with the Marquise du Châtelet—the renowned mathematician who introduced Isaac Newton’s revolutionary new physics to France—is a spirited romp in the company of two extraordinary individuals as well as an erudite and gossipy guide to French high society during the Enlightenment. Mitford’s story is as delicious as it is complicated. The marquise was in love with another mathematician, Maupertuis, while she had an unexpected rival for Voltaire’s affections in the future Frederick the Great of Prussia (and later in the philosophe’s own niece). There was, at least, no jealous husband to contend with: the Marquis du Châtelet, Mitford assures us, behaved perfectly. The beau monde of Paris was, however, distraught at the idea of the lovers’ brilliant conversation going to waste on the windswept hills of Champagne, site of the Château de Cirey, where experimental laboratories, a darkroom, and a library of more than twenty-one thousand volumes enabled them to pursue their amours philosophiques. From time to time the threat of impending arrest would send Voltaire scurrying across the border into Holland, but his irrepressible charm—and the interventions of powerful friends—always made it possible for him resume his studies with the cherished marquise.
