Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Voltaire, Vol. 2 of 2 Receiving no answer to his request to be allowed to travel, Voltaire prudently resolved to consider that silence gave consent. But he was still not a little nervous that if he took refuge in a foreign country Louis XV. might consider himself justified in seizing the pensions of his truant subject. And then, where was he to go? It seems most likely that if it had not been for that unromantic disorder called mat de mer he would have ended his days in Pennsylvania. He had still his bizarre liking for the Quakers; and America was the country of the free. To be sure, mal du pays was a worse and a longer lived disorder with him than the other: an if he had tried Pennsylvania on one impulse, he would quickly have left it on another. He looked back lovingly, too, on bold little England, ´where one asks of no one permission to think.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
