The Story of Civilization 9: the Age of Voltaire

About This Novel
"The Age of Voltaire" is the ninth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". The widespread and ongoing conflicts between religion, science, and philosophy constituted a vivid historical drama in the 18th century. "The Age of Voltaire" is not a biography of Voltaire, but uses his colorful life as a link between countries and generations to show European civilization from the death of Louis XIV to the collapse of the Bastille. This book depicts a group of thinkers headed by Voltaire. Our relative freedom of thought, speech, and belief today is all thanks to the Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century. The Enlightenment liberated the human heart and mind, and its results are still with us today.
