The scholarly annotation of this edition of the Questions draws contextual links between this very personal ‘encyclopaedia’ and all his writings, making it an ideal starting-point to understanding Voltaire’s work.
Always thought-provoking, often amusing, this eight-volume set is an ideal way to give your library users and readers access to ideas of the Enlightenment.
