Oration on Voltaire presents a monumental tribute from one French literary giant to another. Penned by the celebrated Victor Hugo, this powerful text captures his impassioned oration honoring the renowned philosopher and author, Voltaire (1694-1778).

For anyone fascinated by French literature, European history, or the lives of influential literary figures, this volume is an essential addition. It stands as a testament to the power of the word, both from the orator Victor Hugo and the subject, Voltaire, whose ideas continue to resonate.
