Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Voltaire, Genius of Mockery' is a compelling and spirited biography that captures the essence of François-Marie Arouet, the legendary figure of the French Enlightenment. Known for his devastating wit and fearless pursuit of social and intellectual reform, Voltaire stands as a titan of literature and philosophy. This work by Victor Thaddeus delves into the turbulent life of a man who used mockery as a weapon against tyranny, religious intolerance, and the stagnation of the French aristocracy.The narrative traces Voltaire's journey from a defiant young poet in Paris to an influential international intellectual, examining his frequent clashes with authority and his strategic use of exile. Readers will find a detailed account of his interactions with the leading figures of the 18th century, including his complex relationship with Frederick the Great of Prussia. Through Thaddeus's insightful lens, the book illustrates how Voltaire's satirical genius shaped the modern values of free speech and rationalism.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Frederick the Great, the Philosopher King' provides an illuminating biographical portrait of one of the most enigmatic and influential figures of the eighteenth century. Victor Thaddeus explores the multifaceted life of Frederick II of Prussia, balancing his reputation as a ruthless military strategist with his identity as a devoted patron of the arts and a champion of Enlightenment philosophy.The narrative traces Frederick's journey from a troubled youth under the strict discipline of his father to his emergence as a sovereign who fundamentally reshaped the European political landscape. Central to the work is the exploration of Frederick's intellectual pursuits, including his famous correspondence with Voltaire and his efforts to apply rationalist principles to governance, law, and social reform. The study examines the expansion of Prussia through the crucible of the Seven Years' War and the cultural flowering of the court at Sanssouci. By examining the contradictions of a ruler who sought to be both a great conqueror and the first servant of the state, the work provides a comprehensive overview of the man who defined the Prussian state and left an indelible mark on European history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
