Complete Works of Voltaire 84 - Fragments divers (Hardcover, Critical edition): Gillian Pink, John Renwick, et al Complete Works of Voltaire 84 - Fragments divers (Hardcover, Critical edition)

This volume brings together a range of miscellaneous short texts by Voltaire, mostly undated and principally manuscript fragments. From thoughts on the souls of animals, to how he organised his papers to a joke proxy granting unlimited powers to act on his behalf, these scraps shed light on Voltaire's working methods and on the possible subjects of texts that he never published. Most notably, it contains a supplement adding nineteen fragments to the edition of Voltaire's Notebooks (OCV, vol.81-82). Contributors: David Adams, Andrew Brown, Marie-Helene Cotoni, Nicholas Cronk, Jean Dagen, Stephanie Gehanne Gavoty, Myrtille Mericam-Bourdet, Christiane Mervaud, Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Gerhardt Stenger, David Williams.

Complete Works of Voltaire 145 - Notes et ecrits marginaux conserves hors de la Bibliotheque nationale de Russie. Complement au Corpus des notes marginales (Hardcover, Critical edition)

This complement to the "Corpus des notes marginales series" reproduces marginalia by Voltaire found in works outside of his personal library in both printed books and manuscripts. It occupies a unique place within the series as some of the texts included therein were annotated by Voltaire not for his own use but for friends, acquaintances and correspondents. The volume therefore offers a rare glimpse at marginalia whose chief purpose was to impress a certain image of Voltaire himself upon the recipients of the annotated works. A retrospective introduction to the "Corpus des notes marginales de Voltaire" series provides a fascinating portrait of Voltaire as a reader. Contributors: Samuel Bailey, Jean Dagen, Ethel Groffier, John R. Iverson, Edouard Langille, Christiane Mervaud, Christophe Paillard, Jean-Alexandre Perras, Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Alain Sandrier, Gerhardt Stenger, Gemma Tidman, David Williams, Irina Zaitseva.

When Rameau took the world of opera by storm in 1733, Voltaire set aside his first libretto, "Tanis et Zelide", and wrote "Samson" and later "Pandore" with the composer specifically in mind. All three libretti depict rebellion against established religions, culminating in spectacular scenes: Isis and Osiris destroying the temple at Memphis; Samson bringing down the temple, crushing himself and the Philistines; and Prometheus and the Titans doing battle against the Roman gods.

Apres la mort de Voltaire, les editeurs des premieres OEuvres completes posthumes, parues a Kehl, ont publie, dans leur version du 'Dictionnaire philosophique', une quarantaine de manuscrits trouves parmi les papiers de l'auteur. Le present volume a pour objectif de reveler la nature et les origines de ces textes et d'elucider les liens qui existent entre eux. L'edition fait l'etude de la datation de ces textes et tente de resoudre les nombreuses questions genetiques et contextuelles qui planent sur l'ensemble.
