Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rare opportunity to see how two great French thinkers and masters of their art communicated and interacted during the first half of the 18th century. It contains the complete correspondence between the Dijon magistrate Bouhier and the Parisian lawyer Marais from 1721 to 1728. These letters paint an incredible picture of the literary, intellectual and social life of the Regency and early reign of Louis XV. Readers will be fascinated to follow the friends as they debate an eclectic range of subjects with humor, curiosity and wit. The letters touch on everything from theology and religion, to art, literature, theater and music, not to mention financial scandals, political intrigue and gossip, all set against a backdrop of the Jansenist controversy. Ultimately, these letters offer a unique and thoroughly engaging glimpse into the minds of two of France's greatest minds, while shedding a remarkable light on the world they inhabited.
