Philosophical Letters: Or, Letters Regarding the English Nation
by Voltaire, Prudence L. Steiner
by Voltaire, Prudence L. Steiner
Last summer I read a delightful biography of Voltaire (Voltaire Almighty), and after some twenty years since I had read Candide, I decided to read some of his writings. I liked the format and would like to mimic it myself in, say, writing about Pittsburgh. I found the latter part of the book less interesting than the beginning, but it wrapped itself up very nicely. Voltaire comes across very humane, very witty, and consequently very quotable.
