An Interesting Iconclasm
You Have Got To Be Kidding!
Not very useful to anyone
Chaos of unclear ideas I hated this book.Gray lists all of Voltaire's faults and concentrates on the negative.His over-reliance on Nietzsche and his inclusion of de Sade(!) swayed me to the view that Gray does not understand the Enlightenment or the Philosophes in a thorough way.Potshots like "Nearly everything Voltaire wrote is unreadable today" made me angry.It's just nasty and not particularly valuable as a criticism since there are very few authors from that period that are still readable.Plus, someone once noted that Voltaire is not essential reading today because he WON.All the things he fought for are taken for granted today, essentially because he triumphed.Voltaire was the first soldier in the war for reason and he should be treated better than this.Gray just better be glad he's dead, because he would take him apart for this shabby piece of journalism.
If not for Voltaire, THIS book gets burned. |

Voltaire, his brilliant mistress, and the rest of the Enlightenment
dissapointing
The book that inspired "A Visit From Voltaire"
The Candid Voltaire Mme du Chatelet does rather better in Mitford's estimation - she is portrayed as a gifted scientist and an independently important literary figure - but as a lover, she too is deeply flawed.Time and again, she drove Voltaire close to bankruptcy with her gambling debts.And her premature death was brought on by childbirth - not Voltaire's baby, mind, but those of her "toy boy" lover.Yet it is clear that, for all that, she had met in Voltaire her true life partner, and within their own adulterous union, they tolerated each other's infidelities with good grace. A classic chronicle of human foibles by an author who is utterly unintimidated by her biographical subjects.
Solid biographies::the love story is the backdrop If you count yourself a lover of Voltaire -- the man and his writings -- then this book is truly a must-read for you.I've read much of his essays, philosophy, short stories, et cetera, and finally (to my immense delight) feel I "know" the man. The personalities and temperaments of both Voltaire and Emilie were rather as I'd figured they would be, although there were a couple of genuine surprises -- some flattering, some not so flattering. What continues to make me curious is how these two persons defined the word "love"...the dynamics of their relationship and love was interesting, and sometimes confusing, to say the very least.Ah well, I'm speaking of dead persons here.Respect for their personages and for the deceased prohibit me from going further.And besides, after nine years of marriage, I too admit the word "love" has a myriad of nuances. Please enjoy this book!Ecrasez l'infame! ... Read more |
