With Voltaire's encouragement, the Marquis published an anonymous collection of essays and aphorisms that didn't gain too much notice among his contemporaries. And when the Marquis died at the young age of 32, he would have been lost to history without his ties to Voltaire. However, as Voltaire's own reputation and influence became chief among Enlightened thinkers in France, and with the French Revolution following, the Marquis' work became popular at the end of the 18th century. In the history of French literature, he is still best known for his association with Voltaire, but people still read his work today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9123292\"\u003eMarquis De Vauvenargues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500882808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500882801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS013000\"\u003eEurope | France\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433178525933,"sku":"9781500882808","price":7.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ada250c1-6165-4a4d-891e-a5cd11f88db5.jpg?v=1700059142","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/selections-from-the-characters-reflexions-and-maxims-9781500882808","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
