«Memorias» is Voltaire's autobiographical work, published by Valdemar in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Written around 1759 and published posthumously, these memoirs show him as a polemicist and political chronicler. With irony he portrays sovereigns, courtiers and royal lovers, and combines the chronicle of his time with reflections on wars, love, science and philosophy. The author of «Cándido» defends the freedom to think and write as a personal conquest.
Volume 15 of the El Club Diógenes collection. Translation, prologue and notes by Agustín Izquierdo. Original title: «Mémoires pour servir à la vie de Monsieur de Voltaire écrits par lui-même».
For readers of eighteenth-century French literature, memoirs and biographies, and for those interested in the Enlightenment and Voltaire's thought.
