Re-edition in two volumes bringing together two classics of Pascal's philosophical literature: Les Lettres provinciales and Les Pensées. In the first work, the author evokes the religious troubles between Jansenists and Catholics that shook his time through an epistolary relationship. In the second, he transmits to us all his reflections without discrimination, confronting us with philosophical thoughts that are both simple and complex.
Contents in good condition.
