Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Voltaire's essays reflect his observations of English society during his stay from 1726 to 1729, offering a critical perspective on various aspects of English life, governance, and culture. Initially published in English in 1733, the work critiques the French political system, leading to its suppression in France. A revised edition emerged in 1778, and many contemporary versions are derived from the 1734 English edition. The essays serve as a philosophical exploration of contrasts between England and France, highlighting Voltaire's advocacy for reform.
