Title: No Proper Introduction/No Translation Info/POOR QUALITY
Review: If you want to read Voltaire's work, don't get this book. It looks as if the entire book was typeset in Microsoft Word. There is no proper introduction, but a very arrogant preface. The translator isn't mentioned either, nor are there any notes mentioning this translation. This book has 5 pages dedicated to a Contents list, when, if typeset properly without double spacing, could have fit on half a page... The cover is atrocious and duller than the vibrant picture we see here. The quality and the design of the cover is very poor, the back cover being even worse, as if designed by some secretary in PowerPoint and Word.The content? It will leave you wanting more. It'll also make you question whether any of this has been properly presented to us.... Go with a real publisher and a serious translation. This is a joke that I found on my book shelf. It is going straight to a trashcan. Not sure what propelled me to by this book a few years ago.
