Hon. John Burns. Published by J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd. as No. 270 in the distinguished Everyman's Library series. Originally published in French in 1731, Voltaire's History of Charles XII is a classic work of eighteenth-century historical writing, recounting the extraordinary life and military campaigns of Charles XII of Sweden (1682-1718), one of Europe's most remarkable warrior kings. The narrative follows Charles's rise to power, his campaigns during the Great Northern War, his celebrated victories against numerically superior forces, his disastrous invasion of Russia and his eventual exile and return to Sweden. Voltaire combines historical observation, vivid narrative and philosophical reflection in a compelling examination of ambition, military genius, political power and the consequences of war. This edition includes the English translation by Winifred Todhunter and a prefatory note by John Burns, adding further historical and literary interest. The volume retains its distinctive original yellow Everyman's Library dust jacket, featuring the characteristic black decorative device, cream title panels and clearly printed series number. An appealing vintage edition of this important European historical work, particularly attractive for collectors of Voltaire, Swedish history, eighteenth-century literature and the Everyman's Library series.
