Title : I write to act - Life of Voltaire - Max Gallo - book Summary : Voltaire's statue and glory hide the man of flesh. It is this man that Max Gallo seeks to revive in this Life of Voltaire. From his birth to his death, at eighty-four years old, a decade before the Revolution, we see the emergence of a man determined to forge his destiny day after day, word after word. Dozens of tragedies, essays, tales, pamphlets, historical studies, and thousands of letters: this work, this life, reflects the entire 18th century, that of the Enlightenment, of the philosophical party, of the fight for the abolition of torture... But there is more. Max Gallo shows us other facets of the character: his ambition, his greed. Ruthless and contemptuous, grumpy, yet capable of passion for the "sublime Émilie." A man of contradictions, placing freedom above all else, Voltaire, dazzling with life, our necessary contemporary. EAN: 9782253128946 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : I, Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra - Bernard Simiot - book Summary : Like Marguerite Yourcenar for her Memoirs of Hadrian , Bernard Simiot imagined that Queen Zenobia of Palmyra wrote her Memoirs. Thus, in this novel, which received the Goncourt Scholarship for Historical Narrative in 1978, he traces the extraordinary destiny of the queen who lived in the 3rd century AD and took a very active part in the transformations of the Eastern Roman world. After the death of Odenath, her husband, who had received the title of Augustus and represented the emperor and Roman power, Zenobia seized power. Refusing Roman tutelage, she exercised the regency in the name of her son Waballaht. Intelligent and authoritarian, she led Palmyra to its peak. But in 272, Aurelian's armies conquered the kingdom she had carved out for herself in the eastern marches. As a prisoner, she was sent near Rome where she lived a gilded exile in a villa on Tibur. Combining the best historical sources and novelistic invention, Bernard Simiot, winner of the Prix d'Académie française in 1984 for Ces messieurs de Saint-Malo , succeeds marvelously in this evocation of a rich and little-known period, during which the Eastern Roman world became Arabized. We see the development in this oasis through which the caravans passed a commercial and cultural civilization of extreme refinement, profoundly marked by the personality of this queen, an astonishing woman of action whose name remains forever linked to Palmyra, this Venice of the desert.
