Portada de Voltaire: Letters on England (ePUB)

Letters on England gathers together Voltaire’s essays about his time in England between 1726 and 1728. Comparable to Alexis De Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, Voltaire looks at English culture as an outsider, giving its culture, society and governing institutions a favorable comparison to their French counterparts.
