Ensemble complet de ses deux tomes ; ici reliÂŽs en un volume. Le premier s'ouvre sur un joli frontispice gravÂŽ figurant le souverain Exemplaire sous reliure aux armes de Morand de La Perelle. ''Cet ouvrage est d'un tel intÂŽrÂt la narration en est si simple et si rapide le style si colorÂŽ et attachant qu'on le lut pendant longtemps comme une oeuvre romanesque. Ce que narre ici Voltaire para”t tenir autant de la fiction que de la rÂŽalitÂŽ. Le gÂŽnie du poÂte de La Henriade se retrouve dans les principaux passages de cette prose ÂŽlÂŽgante et chaude qui semble aussi bien Âtre un poÂme hÂŽro•que qu'une belle page d'histoire''. in Le Petit Bibliographie des principales ÂŽditions originales p. 538. L'histoire de Charles XII constitue un tournant important dans la carriÂre de Voltaire puisqu'elle est le premier ouvrage historique de l'auteur. L'idÂŽe lui vint pendant son exil anglais aprÂs sa rencontre avec le baron Fabrice un familier du roi suÂŽdois. Charles XII exerÂant alors une vÂŽritable sÂŽduction sur Voltaire ''Homme unique plut™t que grand homme dira-t-il de lui admirable plut™t qu'ˆ imiterÈ et fascinÂŽ par la personnalitÂŽ ÂŽtonnante de cette figure historique et contemporaine c'est alors que Voltaire dÂŽcide d'en esquisser le portrait. DÂŽbarrassÂŽe de la versification contraignante de l'ÂŽpopÂŽe la ÇgesteÈ de Charles XII tient ˆ la fois de la dramaturgie et du reportage fait de tÂŽmoignages et de Çchoses vuesÈ. AprÂs avoir obtenu le privilÂge autorisant son impression le manuscrit est aussit™t confiÂŽ aux soins d'un ÂŽditeur. Revenant sur leur dÂŽcision les autoritÂŽs le firent pourtant retirer de la vente craignant un incident diplomatique avec la Pologne o rÂŽgnait encore Auguste II jadis fort malmenÂŽ par son voisin du Nord. Voltaire laisse ici entrevoir en son admiration pour les Çsouverains civilisateursÈ ˆ travers le portrait qu'il fait de Pierre le Grand il y reviendra longuement dans son Histoire de l'Empire de Russie sous Pierre le Grand mais s'indigne aussi et surtout devant les atrocitÂŽs dont sont capables les hommes fussent-ils de grands rois."
