Voltaire in Exile by Ian Davidson
'Voltaire's exile was a seminal event in the story of the Enlightenment. It fuelled equally his scepticism and his sense of human comedy. Ian Davidson superbly captures its creative impact on Voltaire's mind and work.' Simon Jenkins
We know the old fox as a great man of letters, but to be allowed a peek into his domestic life and to see Voltaire in his garden, Voltaire the money lender, the master of three châteaux, the exasperating fibber and groveller, the amateur actor and, above all, the sly correspondent, is a rare treat. Voltaire could not have wished for a more sensitive or a wiser biographer. Seemingly without any effort Davidson has taken a mountain of historical research and fashioned it into a true reading pleasure, written with a keen eye for detail and with great humanity'.
