Summary: "Correspondance de Voltaire avec le roi de Prusse" by Voltaire and Frederick II is a historical correspondence written in the late 19th century. This collection encompasses over four decades of letters exchanged between the renowned Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire and Frederick II, the king of Prussia. The dialogues explore diverse subjects such as philosophy, politics, and the arts, revealing the unique intellectual rapport between the two influential figures of their time. At the start of the correspondence, we see Frederick, still a prince, reaching out to Voltaire with admiration for his literary genius. The letters highlight Frederick's desire to cultivate philosophy and the arts within his reign, expressing a shared commitment to Enlightenment ideas. Voltaire's responses are filled with flattery and philosophical musings, as he encourages Frederick's aspirations for humane leadership. The opening sets the stage for a complex relationship, characterized by mutual respect, philosophical discussions, and the challenges posed by royal duties, thereby inviting readers to explore how their correspondence evolves over the years.
