The Age Of Voltaire by Will Durant
A brisk, panoramic account of the 18th century that traces the rise and influence of Enlightenment thought, showing how reason, science, and criticism challenged religious authority, superstition, and absolute monarchy; it profiles major figures and institutions, explains the spread of ideas through salons, pamphlets, and the Encyclopédie, and connects intellectual shifts to social, political, and economic changes that prepared Europe and the Americas for modern reform and revolution.
