Reviews
short, sweet, and scandalous
Conrad Meaders
What I enjoy most about Voltaire is how he combines philosophy with satire. The Huron gives an excellent outsider perspective of the events happening in France in the 17th century.
Very Voltaire

The story is very good and the recording is pretty clear. However, the last book would not load for me and the reading is sometimes very slow in pace.
