Product description

Review

'The book is an admirable achievement; it makes a compelling narrative out of the multiple character of Voltaire's gifts, the teeming output of his pen, and the complicated nature of eighteenth-century France ... A delightful read' A. C. Grayling, Literary Review 'Excellent, acidly witty ... Pearson has constructed his narrative like a picaresque novel, with chapters promising sensational changes of fortune ... or salacious tattle' Observer 'Voltaire Almighty is a lively and erudite tribute to its subject' Sunday Telegraph 'Sparklingly witty and eminently readable' Sunday Times
