Biographie

RANÇOIS-MARIE AROUET, DIT VOLTAIRE (1694 – 1778) Philosophe et écrivain des Lumières ayant participé à l’Encyclopédie, Voltaire met en scène ses idées dans des contes, des nouvelles et des pamphlets. Sa prose spirituelle fait de lui un polémiste de génie. Candide (n° 31), Zadig ou la Destinée (n° 77), L’Ingénu (n° 180) et La Princesse de Babylone (n° 356) sont disponibles chez Librio.

Traduit de l'allemand par Anne Balseinte, Jean-Gilbert Delarbre et Daniel Hartmann, avec la collaboration de Janine Altounian, André Bourguignon et Pierre Cotet.Préface de Jacques André.

The Hindu philosopher Vatsyayana, believed to have lived sometime during India’s Gupta Empire (320–550 CE), compiled TheKama Sutra based on the teachings of ancient sages.

Sun Tzu is thought to have been a military general and adviser to the king of the southern Chinese state of Wu during the sixth century BCE. Although some modern scholars have called his authorship into doubt, the world’s most influential and enduring treatise on military strategy, The Art of War, bears his name.

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was an English author, best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary. Together with Jules Verne, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction". Wells was an outspoken socialist and very sympathetic to technocracy and pacifist views, although he supported the First World War once it was under way, and his later works became increasingly political and didactic.
