À propos de cet audio
Volney's classic, The Ruins, is the book that Frankenstein's creature learns to read from. Its call for an absolute separation between church and state was controversial enough that Thomas Jefferson, who had translated the first 20 chapters into English, tried to obscure his role in the American publication process to protect his run for the 1800 US presidency.
This is a new edition with an introduction by the editor, Tarah Wheeler.
- New cover image uses the original maps in Volney's first French edition, owned by the editor
- Multiple licensed images of ruins and the stories from the time
- All in-text asterisk notes have been moved to numbered, cleaned endnotes
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
