Description
“”In the tradition of the best self-help novels, Voltaire teaches Küng how to live a happy and full life,” wrote Nicholas Cronk in The Cambridge Guide to Voltaire, March 2009. In a 20th anniversary forward to her Orange Prize-nominated comic novel, Küng reflects on the lessons from Voltaire that have stuck through two decades since his imagined stay at her Swiss farmhouse. A mix of biography, memoir, and domestic comedy, A Visit From Voltaire reminds us that political despotism, public corruption, and religious wars are always with us, but so too are the compassion, wisdom, generosity, and humor to weather personal griefs and unexpected challenges. In the end, Küng’s whimsical encounter with the Enlightenment giant endures as a Valentine to the gift of reading itself—the potential for anybody, whatever their station or situation in life, to converse with the Greats just by picking up a book. —- ISBN: 9782970108498
