Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... then, not also add to what is called our liberty? There is no one of our senses or our powers which has not been helped by effort. Why should liberty be the only one of man's attributes which he cannot increase? Suppose, for instance, we see round us trees hung with a delicious but poisoned fruit, which a raging hunger incites us to pick: if we feel ourselves too weak to abstain, let us go (and going depends on ourselves) to places where there are no such fruits. These are counsels which, like so many others, are no doubt easier to give than to follow: but we are in the presence of a disease wherein the patient must minister to himself. X CONSOLING A FAILURE To Mdlle. Dangeville [Written after the production of Voltaire's Roman tragedy Brutus, in which the youthful Mdlle. Dangeville played, very badly, the important part of Tullie. No other playwright, surely, --not even another Frenchman, --ever reassured a timid ingenue who had spoilt his piece with more delicacy and consideration.] December, 1731. Prodigy, allow me to present you with a copy of the Henriade--a very serious work for your age--but she who can play Tullie cannot be incapable of serious reading, and it is only right that I should lay my works at the feet of her who bestows her beauty on them. I thought I was going to die this evening, and am, truly, very ill: otherwise I should have offered you thanks and homage for the honour you did me to-day. The piece is unworthy of you: but you must remember what laurels you will win in endowing my Tullie with your graces. It will owe its success to you. But to achieve that success you must not hurry any of your lines; you must lighten them, add pathos to declamation, and be sure to take plenty of time. Above all, put all your...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voltaire in His Letters: Being a Selection From His Correspondence; Translated With a Preference and Forewords "It seems to me," said George Eliot, "much better to read a man's own writings, than to read what others say about him, especially when the man is first-rate and the others third-rate." In these words lie perhaps the best reason for a translation of the Letters of Voltaire. Traduttore traditore is certainly truth as well as truism; but there are still thousands of highly educated people who, reading for pleasure and recreation, never read any language but their own; while there are as many more, to whom French is a second mother tongue, who would never for themselves explore the eighteen large volumes (each of five to six hundred pages of close print) which contain the correspondence of Voltaire, and discard from it those letters on which time has set his defacing hand, which deal with events which once seemed as momentous as they now seem trivial, and which even a style, matchless in irony, gaiety, wit, can quicken no more; and from among those grey ashes of old fires sift out the living embers which glow and burn for ever.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 335 pages. 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.
