Good old Voltaire: he was mad at everyone, and said so in style.
LibraryThing member tairngire
Great collection of Voltaire's works, the translation manages to be just as witty and tongue-in-cheek as the original!
LibraryThing member DinadansFriend
Even translated Voltaire is quite entertaining. We get comlete texts of Zadig, and Candide, as well as Micromegas. There are letters and essays as well as a brief biography of this accomplished writer. I read an earler edition
