1822C2643Paris, Esneaux, 1822 ; in-8, environ 450 pp. par volume, reliures demi-veau brun, dos lisse et muet, papier de garde bleu. Les 19 volumes. François-Marie Arouet, dit Voltaire, philosophe et homme de lettres du XVIIIème siècle, symbole des Lumières, incarna à lui seul l'intellectuel engagé et la puissance de l’opinion publique. Eduqué par les jésuites, Voltaire se fit remarquer en rhétorique et par sa capacité à versifier. Il prit très tôt le contrepied de cette éducation et s'orienta vers la société des libertins, brilla dans les salons plaisantant même sur la relation du Régent et de sa fille, ce qui lui valut 11 mois de Bastille. Très vite, Voltaire obtint le succès littéraire avec la Henriade. Suite à l'affaire Rohan-Chabot, il fut à nouveau embastillé, mais très vite libéré à condition qu'il s'exilât. Voltaire partit alors pour l'Angleterre, fit la connaissance d'Emilie Du Châtelet et fut reçu à la cour de Lunéville. Rentré ensuite à Paris, il quitta rapidement la ville pour visiter Frédéric II à Berlin puis s’installa à Ferney près de Genève. Peu d'écrivains furent aussi prolifiques que Voltaire. En ce qui concerne le présent volume, notons que les lettres furent rédigées, dès le début, en vue d’une publication, très critique envers la religion et favorisant la science. État moyen.
