Œuvres de Voltaire Tome XX: Siècle de Louis XIV.—Tome II by Voltaire
"Œuvres de Voltaire Tome XX: Siècle de Louis XIV.—Tome II" by Voltaire is a philosophical history published in 1751. This work examines the reign of Louis XIV not as a simple chronicle of royal deeds, but as a portrait of human spirit during France's most enlightened century. Through catalogs of writers, artists, marshals, and ministers, Voltaire captures the grandeur of an era that marked a peak of human achievement. He balances praise
with critical honesty, celebrating both famous figures and forgotten contributors who shaped this golden age. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
