Blaise Pascal was born in Clermont in 1623, the son of a government official. During his short life he left his mark on mathematics, physics, religious controversy and literature. A convert to Jansenism, he engaged with gusto in a controversy with the Jesuits, which gave rise to his Lettres Provincialeson which, with the Pens�es, his literary fame chiefly rests. A remarkable stylist, he is regarded by many as the greatest of French prose artists. He died, after a long illness, in 1662.

Dr. A.J. Krailsheimer was born in 1921 and was Tutor in French at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1957 until his retirement in 1988. His publications are Studies in Self-Interest (1963), Rabelais and the Franciscans (1965), Three Conteurs of the Sixteenth Century (1966), Rabelais (1967), A. J. de Ranc�, Abbot of La Trappe (1974), Pascal (1980), Conversion (1980), Letters of A. J. de Ranc� (1984), Ranc� and the Trappist Legacy (1985) and Correspondance de Ranc� (1993). He has also translated Flaubert’s Bouvard and P�cuchet and Salammbo and Pascal’s The Provincial Letters for the Penguin Classics.
