"History of the Russian Empire during the reign of Peter the Great. Paris. 1816" Voltaire (Historie de L’ Empire de Russie par Voltaire).

The book is the first serious monograph on the history of Russia during the reign of Peter the Great. The work was commissioned by Peter's daughter Elizabeth, and was in the works for 7 years (1756-1763). Voltaire's history of the Tsar Peter the Great paints him as a genuine enlightened despot, who brought civilization to a barbaric empire and created a solid Enlightenment society. This edition takes its text mainly from the last edition that Voltaire personally supervised, the 1775 edition, and contains appropriate notes, detailed edition comparisons, a glossary, and twelve appendices, including Voltaire's letters regarding the composition of the work and the critical response it received. This superb edition provides the first opportunity to appreciate all the elements of Voltaire's complex relationship with the idea of the Tzar Peter.
