On Architecture
Translated by Richard Schofield
Introduction by Robert Travernor
The only treatise on architecture to have
survived from Roman times, Vitruvius’s
On Architecture provides a fascinating
picture of how the Romans planned and
built their great structures and cities.
This new translation captures the clear,
pragmatic tone of Vitruvius’s writings,
showing why the ancient architect
and engineer’s theories have remained
influential for two millennia.

Candide
Or, Optimism
Translated by Theo Cuffe with an
Introduction by Michael Wood
Voltaire audaciously challenged the
complacent philosophical views of his
time, mercilessly mocking those that
earned his scorn—from kings, priests, and
warmongers to publishers, journalists,
and scientists—to create one of the most
glorious satires of the eighteenth century.

Letters on England
Translated with an Introduction by
Leonard Tancock
Also known as the Lettres anglaises ou
philosophiques, Voltaire’s response to
his exile in England offered the French
public of 1734 a panoramic view of British
culture. Perceiving them as a veiled attack
against the ancien régime, however, the
French government ordered the letters
burned and Voltaire persecuted.
