Excerpt from Oeuvres Complètes de Voltaire, Vol. 10: Avec des Notes Et une Notice sur la Vie de Voltaire; Correspondance Avec le Roi de Prusse, l'Imperatrice de Russie Et d'Alembert
Le caractère de la vérité est bien différent. Elle n'a besoin ni d'armes pour se défendre, ni de violence pour forcer les hommes a la croire; elle n'a qu'à paraître; et dès que sa lumière a dissipé les nuages qui la cachaient son triomphe est assuré.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an extraordinary correspondence between two towering intellects of the 18th century: Voltaire, the great French philosopher and writer, and Frederick the Great, the enlightened King of Prussia. Their letters, spanning two decades, reveal a profound friendship built on shared passions for philosophy, literature, and the pursuit of knowledge. As they exchange ideas on metaphysics, religion, and the nature of kingship, Voltaire and Frederick grapple with the great questions of their time. Voltaire, known for his wit and incisive social commentary, challenges Frederick's absolutism while advocating for religious tolerance and individual liberty. Frederick, a brilliant military strategist and patron of the arts, defends his policies but shares Voltaire's love of reason and his contempt for superstition. Beyond its historical significance, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the minds of two extraordinary men. It showcases Voltaire's brilliance as a philosopher and writer, and Frederick's remarkable breadth of knowledge and intellectual curiosity. Their correspondence remains a testament to the power of reason, the importance of open dialogue, and the enduring legacy of the Enlightenment.
