Voltaire (1694-1778), best remembered as the author of Candide, is one of the central actors -- arguably the defining personality -- of the European Enlightenment. In this Very Short Introduction, Nicholas Cronk explores Voltaire's remarkable career and demonstrates how his thinking is pivotal to our notion and understanding of the Enlightenment.

In a fresh and modern examination of his writings, Cronk examines the nature of Voltaire's literary celebrity, demonstrating the extent to which his work was reactive and practical, and therefore made sense within the broader context of the debates to which he responded. The most famous living author in Europe in the 18th century, Cronk emphasizes Voltaire's skills of "performance" as a writer and his continued relevance today. He concludes by looking not only at Voltaire's impact in literature and philosophy, but also his influence on French political values and modern French politics.

Great Cargo Net for the Price! πŸ‘
This item is nice and appears to be high quality compared to others that cost way more. So for $15 you cannot ask for better. Now how it holds up over time is another story. My last one was so dry rotted and it stayed stored inside the pocket of my door for several years. Regardless for only$15 if you get 1 year out of it you got your money's worth. Just purchase a new one. As far as seams, stitching and elasticity, it's very good. Carabiners are black coated what looks and feels like aluminum but cannot confirm. The quality as they open and close feel solid. Again time will tell. I would definitely recommend this net. The only negative is the bag it comes in is garbage and cheaply made. It's like dollar general plastic toiletries bag.

Very handy in many situations.
This is a very useful gadget. It is very stretchy, adjustable with extra straps, easy to store in itβ€˜s own bag and a pretty good weight. We used it to transport a mattress, hay bales, a large stack of cardboard boxes and a desk. The hooks are strong but easy to open, it did not tangle for us at all.

Cheap and tough
I got this for a trailer not a truck and it works perfectly for dump runs instead of using a tarp and bungies. Comes in a little bag I'll never use again and had some accessories i don't understand, but if you want a springy net for something that's cheap enough not to care about breaking this is your product
