Críticas
Highly entertaining . . . [Voltaire's] life emerges as a gloriously adventurous interweaving of slapstick, cops-and-robbers chases, exploding privies and rags-to-riches stunts (SUNDAY TIMES)
Their story is chattily told... [and] full of relish for the escapades in it . . . Irresistible (FT MAGAZINE)
He has taken up one of the great stories of the period, a potent mix of romance, science and history . . . there is never a dull moment (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
Bodanis vindicates emilie impressively (LITERARY REVIEW)
Reseña del editor
Emilie du Chatelet was one of the greatest thinkers of the 18th century, a woman whose work was of vital use to Einstein and who, until now, has been largely ignored by history. Fiercely intellectual and passionate, Emilie's relationship with Voltaire was as radical as her thinking; only after swordfights, wild affairs and rigging the French national lottery did the two finally find love together. In an isolated chateau they combined their unique talents, producing theories more than a century ahead of their time. Voltaire challenged the social norms and great injustices of the era, as well as expanding on Newton's Laws. When they ran out of money, Emilie, with her razor-sharp mathematics, would gamble in Versailles. Their progressive thinking won them only public scorn and even imprisonment in the Bastille for Voltaire.
When their love finally ended, Emilie found happiness in an independent life until, tragically, she became pregnant. Then in her forties, it meant almost-certain death in childbirth. Voltaire returned to comfort her in her last months, when she wrote some of her most important work.
