4.9/5 (18490 ratings)

Description:This volume documents Haller's relations with Bonnet's nephew Horace-Benedict de Saussure. Spanning the years 1760-77, it brings out the fascination with the Alps that formed a bond between the celebrated Bernese physician and polymath and the much younger Saussure, who later gained renown for his "Voyages dans les Alpes". Along with glimpses of Haller's personal and family life, the letters afford illustrations of his remarkable learning and productivity. They also contain some revealing passages about contemporary society, and regular assessments of Voltaire, Rousseau, Linnaeus, Buffon, and other luminaries. The correspondence is most valuable, perhaps for the light it sheds on the relatively little studied life and thought of Saussure. The texts of the letters are in French; the notes and the introduction are in English.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
