Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication Page; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Grateful Thanks to a Charitable Man (1750); Extract from a Decree bythe Inquisition (1750); In Defense of Milord Bolingbroke (1752); Dialogue between a Brahmin and a Jesuit (1756); Dialogues between Lucretius and Posidonius (1756); Reflections for Fools (1760); Letter from Charles Gouju to His Brothers (1761); The Sermon of Rabbi Akib (1761); Extract from the London Gazette (1762); Prayer to God (from Treatise on Tolerance) (1763); Catechism of the Honest Man (1763);Voltaire, the pen name of Franois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), was one of the most influential leaders of the French Enlightenment. His defense of individual freedom of conscience and his criticisms of religious fanaticism and oppressive orthodoxy had a telling effect on Western history, inspiring several leading founders of Americas new laws. This is the first English translation of many of his key texts from his famous pamphlet war for tolerance, written from 1750 to 1768, originally published under pseudonyms to avoid imprisonment and to educate the average citizen. Included are The Sermon of Rabbi Akib (a searing attack on anti-Semitism), Prayer to God (from the famous Treatise on Tolerance), the hugely popular Catechism of the Honest Man, The Dinner at Count Boulainvilliers, and other witty, sometimes acerbic pieces that point out the errors in the Bible, the corruption of the clergy, and the religiously-inspired persecutions, both of his day and across the ages. Many of these pamphlets were burned in a losing battle by the authorities. With a lengthy introduction and copious notes by the editor and translator, plus an appendix including first-hand accounts of the battle by noted mathematician and French revolutionary Condorcet, Frederick the Great, Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith, and others, this excellent compilation will be a welcome addition to the libraries of anyone with an interest in human rights and freedom of thought--

G. K. NOYER is a freelance writer and translator, born in Michigan, where she did copywriting and production work for the local PBS affiliate and radio before moving to France. She has written scripts in French for several television series, and translated others into English, along with translating plays, websites, and historical documents for museums. She is currently developing a feature-film script on Voltaire and his journey to the Enlightenment battle for freedom of beliefs, as well as a feature-length comedy inspired by one of his lesser-known works. Some of the findings in the introduction were previously presented at a Paris-Sorbonne University conference on Voltaire in 2014.
