Oxford University Press Voltaire
Book SynopsisVoltaire (1694-1778), best remembered as the author of Candide, is one of the central actors -- arguably the defining personality -- of the European Enlightenment. In this Very Short Introduction, Nicholas Cronk explores Voltaire''s remarkable career and demonstrates how his thinking is pivotal to our notion and understanding of the Enlightenment. In a fresh and modern examination of his writings, Cronk examines the nature of Voltaire''s literary celebrity, demonstrating the extent to which his work was reactive and practical, and therefore made sense within the broader context of the debates to which he responded. The most famous living author in Europe in the 18th century, Cronk emphasises Voltaire''s skills of ''performance'' as a writer and his continued relevance today. He concludes by looking not only at Voltaire''s impact in literature and philosophy, but also his influence on French political values and modern French politics. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.Trade Review[a] brilliant new study ... To squeeze Voltaire into a mere 124 pages of text plus notes is quite the achievement. And yet this book is bursting with complex ideas, perspectives and opinions ... Cronk is perfectly placed to present the most up-to-date imaginable overview of Voltaire, and of Voltaire studies ... His Very Short Introductio is the promise of a very long Voltairean legacy yet to come. * Professor Síofra Pierse, Revue Voltaire *Table of Contents1. The actor ; 2. The Epicurean ; 3.

Voltaire
Book SynopsisLa biografía del filósofo que gobernó la opinión del siglo XVIII, figura totémica que aún hoy representa el librepensamiento y los mejores valores de la libertad individual.Desde la publicación de su gran poema nacional, La Henriada, hasta su gran texto de batalla, fundacional y referencial, Tratado sobre la tolerancia, Voltaire hizo de su pluma su mejor arma de guerra. Esta capacidad de acción y persuasión, junto a su dominio para influir en la opinión pública, le granjeó mucha animosidad por parte del statu quo, desde el gobierno francés hasta las altas esferas religiosas.A lo largo de su vida, el pensador luchó contra el exilio y la censura, desde su encierro en La Bastilla, sin juicio ni acusación clara, hasta la enemistad con Luis xv y Federico ii, quien lo persiguió y torturó de manera perversa. No obstante, siempre se mantuvofirme en su lucha por la libertad de sus conciudadanos y, aunque la felicidad se le resistía, también gozó de periodos de paz e incluso llegó a encontrar el amoren la joven marquesa du Châtelet.Todas estas batallas libradas, junto a su personalidad chispeante y al éxito de obras como Cándido o sus cuentos, hizo de él uno de los escritores más populares y queridos de todos los tiempos. Pero, por encima de todo, Voltaire fue, a fin de cuentas, el primer escritor plenamente libre, que desde su independencia intelectual y económica, cambió para siempre el mundo.

Rizzoli International Publications Zadig Voltaire
Book SynopsisThe first monograph on the contemporary French fashion brand Zadig & Voltaire, published on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.Synonymous with an effortless rock and roll style, Zadig & Voltaire is a Paris-based French fashion brand founded by Thierry Gillier in 1997. With the brand’s name and ethos inspired by the 1747 philosophical novella Zadig, or The Book of Fate, by the French philosopher Voltaire, Gillier seeks to infuse the house with the optimism and modernity that permeates the story. Informed by a modern approach to luxury, the brand’s signature designs blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine, exuding a rebellious spirit and sense of modern cool.This highly anticipated debut monograph presents Zadig & Voltaire’s history through its most memorable collections, advertising campaigns, and iconic moments. Illustrated with evocative photographs captured by some of the most renowned names in fashion photography, sTrade Review"'Life is not a straight road—ups and downs—but it’s my way,' reads Thierry Gillier’s note jotted onto a Château Voltaire memo pad. Little did Gillier know when he dashed this off in the late ’90s that this note would serve as an opening to a book covering the decades-long journey of his passion project and one of fashion’s favorite cult brands. In Zadig & Voltaire: Established 1997 in Paris, the knitwear rebel and global director of Vogue Runway Nicole Phelps discusses the French brand’s most iconic moments. Captured by the lenses of photographic icons such as Olivier Zahm and the deft duo behind V’s very own current September covers, Inez & Vinoodh, this marvelous monograph oozes sensuality with divinely undone imagery. There’s even a little insider knowledge from the designer himself, with notes on his influences and inspirations. It all started with some cashmere,a defiant spirit, and a dash of rock ‘n’ roll—and the rest is history." —V MAGAZINE
