Voltaire: The Incomparable Infidel is a biography written by Joseph Lewis that delves into the life of the French Enlightenment writer and philosopher, Fran�����ois-Marie Arouet, better known by his pen name, Voltaire. The book explores Voltaire's life from his early years as a young man in Paris to his later years as a celebrated writer and thinker. It provides an in-depth analysis of his literary works, including his satirical novel Candide, and his philosophical ideas, such as his advocacy for freedom of thought and religion. The book also delves into Voltaire's personal life, including his relationships with women and his political activism. Joseph Lewis presents a comprehensive and engaging portrait of Voltaire, highlighting his impact on the Enlightenment and his enduring legacy as one of the most influential thinkers of his time.1929. The work and influence of Voltaire are unmistakably impressed upon the progress and intellectual development of mankind. Pronounce his name in the presence of clergymen, and you will find you have made a declaration of war. Pronounce that name and from the mouth of a priest will come a veritable river of vituperation and calumny. Yet, Voltaire was the greatest man of his century and did more to free the human race than any other man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
