by RogerPearson (Author)
A study of Voltaire's "Contes Philosophiques" - the philosophical tales for which he is best remembered, and which include "Candide". This book places each of the 26 stories in its historical and intellectual context, and proposes new ways of reading them in the light of modern critical thinking.
