Complete Works of Voltaire 30C

This volume completes the edition of Voltaire’s writings of 1746-1748, highlighting once again the incredible diversity of Voltaire’s œuvre. It contains some short texts published for the first time in the Dresden edition of 1748, notably on political and military topics. In particular, this volume reflects some of the fruits of Voltaire’s years as royal historiographer, with his writings on Louis XIV and Louis XV anticipating his later monumental "Siècle de Louis XIV".
