The book explores the lives of ten prominent 18th-century French Enlightenment figures through their connections to Voltaire. Each man receives a distinctive label—from d'Alembert the Thinker to Condorcet the Aristocrat—as Hall weaves together their intertwined stories. The work notably contains a phrase summarizing Voltaire's views on free speech that would later be widely misattributed as his own words, becoming one of history's most famous quotations.
