Download or read book Voltaire in Love written by Nancy Mitford and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inimitable Nancy Mitford’s account of Voltaire’s fifteen-year relationship with the Marquise du Châtelet—the renowned mathematician who introduced Isaac Newton’s revolutionary new physics to France—is a spirited romp in the company of two extraordinary individuals as well as an erudite and gossipy guide to French high society during the Enlightenment. Mitford’s story is as delicious as it is complicated. The marquise was in love with another mathematician, Maupertuis, while she had an unexpected rival for Voltaire’s affections in the future Frederick the Great of Prussia (and later in the philosophe’s own niece). There was, at least, no jealous husband to contend with: the Marquis du Châtelet, Mitford assures us, behaved perfectly. The beau monde of Paris was, however, distraught at the idea of the lovers’ brilliant conversation going to waste on the windswept hills of Champagne, site of the Château de Cirey, where experimental laboratories, a darkroom, and a library of more than twenty-one thousand volumes enabled them to pursue their amours philosophiques. From time to time the threat of impending arrest would send Voltaire scurrying across the border into Holland, but his irrepressible charm—and the interventions of powerful friends—always made it possible for him resume his studies with the cherished marquise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Voltaire Memoires had been sponsors to Armand Arouet. A few years before the birth of his second son, M. Arouet sold the notaryship which he had purchased in early life, and some years later he obtained the well-paid and very responsible office of Receiver of Fees and Fines to the Chamber of Accounts (he is sometimes styled its treasurer), an important state department which exercised jurisdiction in all matters appertaining to the complex revenues of the Crown. Besides an official residence in town, he had a country house at Chatenay, a pretty rural suburb of Paris. Madame Arouet was a friend of the famous Ninon de l'enclos (another of her husband's distinguished clients), who, after having been made love to by three generations of Frenchmen, was in her old age the centre of a rather brilliant circle of free-thinking and free-and-easy persons of both sexes (many of them belonged to the aristocracy), forming a sort of social opposition to the then gloomy and priest-ridden court at Versailles. One of Ninon's most intimate allies, in her later and latest years, was a certain Abbe cle Chateauneuf, clever, agreeable, musical, who made some figure in Paris society, and whose brother, the Marquis (m.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voltaire! Voltaire!: A Novel Was it really conceivable that a day might come when a now still totally unknown Jean Jacques Rousseau would be entitled to stand before that celebrated man? The very thought was enough to make young Rousseau feel dizzy. But no. It was unthinkable. He was too poor, and Voltaire too rich. He was too ignorant, while Voltaire's range Of knowledge was the astonishment Of his times. He was too sluggish in his thinking, while the quick leap Of Voltaire's wit was already legendary. And worst of all, he was incurably lazy. While Voltaire was known to keep himself busy night and day, his favorite aphorism being How wonderful it would be to rest, if rest were not so awfully boring. And yet, in spite of all these differences, each one to the disadvantage Of Jean Jacques, he remained haunted by the conviction that someday he would prove himself worthy Of Voltaire. Someday they would meet. Yes, someday they would stand face to face. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
