(INT), ISBN 0872204901, ISBN-13 9780872204904, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A translation of the 1758 edition of the French writer's witty, naughty, and negative critique of his society. In addition to one character's irreverent observations on popes and kings, and the expressions of frustration another's wives and eunuchs, however, are essays and allegories exploring the 18th-century urgency to discover universals, or at least pragmatic constants amid the diversity of human cultural and society, and to confront the proposition that all human relationships are based on self-interest. Healy provides a 19-page introduction and footnotes explaining allusions. Paper edition (unseen), $. Cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed . Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
