Together the two lovers rebuilt a dilapidated and isolated rural chateau at Cirey where they conducted scientific experiments, entertained many of the leading thinkers of the burgeoning scientific revolution, and developed radical ideas about the monarchy, the nature of free will, the subordination of women, and the separation of church and state. But their time together was filled with far more than reading and intellectual conversation. The pair survived court intrigues at Versailles, narrow escapes from agents of the king, a covert mission to the idyllic lakeside retreat of Frederick the Great of , forays to the royal gambling tables where Emilie put her mathematical acumen to lucrative use , and intense affairs that bent but did not break their bond. Based on a rich array of personal letters, as well as writings from houseguests, neighbors, scientists, and even police reports, Passionate Minds is both panoramic and intimate in feeling. It is an unforgettable love story and a vivid rendering of the birth of modern ideas. Guide to Further Reading Acknowledgments Now David Bodanis has not only brought her to life, but also uncovered one of the great love affairs of the eighteenth century.

She was everything a mother could hope for: compliant, pretty, and always wearing the right clothes. Emilie had desperately wanted to join them, but she could never quite say or do the right thing. If she did try, she was more likely to blurt out some complex question in philosophy or . She would have been better oV asking about fashion. Emilie was relegated to small ground-Xoor rooms, looking out on a wall. Fontenelle told the ten- year-old Emilie about the thick band of white in the night sky called the Milky Way, and explained that this too was but a seeding of worlds, in far greater number than could imagine. Emilie was entranced with what might lie out there in space. According to Fontenelle, it seemed impossible that anyone on Earth could possibly weigh distant Saturn, or determine the temperature there. But what might be discovered in the future if you really used your mind? Her father was unusual. Most European thinkers of the time were convinced that human adults were actually two diVerent species, with males having been created with superior intellects to match their superior strength. Now he began to bring tutors to the house for her. As the years went on, she translated and learned to read Tasso in the original Italian; she had the pleasure of memorizing long stretches of Lucretius and as well. Yet when someone is born with a soul that wants more, at least solitary study is there to console them. That would have been a catastrophe for Emilie. Punishment at elite convent schools included sending young girls, repeatedly and alone, to pray in stiXing dark burial vaults. Fortunately for Emilie, her father managed to hold out against the convent. But even though she got to study, she was still lonely—and could scarcely leave the house. She was constrained to stay in. She had exactly two alternatives in life: either she could marry into a family that would keep her well or she really could be sent to a convent. It was not a biological clock but a Wnancial one that now began to tick. For many years he had been chief of etiquette at Versailles and had earned a great deal by negotiating with foreign dignitaries to give them access to the king. After Louis XIV died, however, in , that had stopped. Now, though, Emilie filled out. Her face took on an attractive oval shape, her hazel eyes widened, and she became, if not the perfect beauty that her mother had been, then a tall young woman who was very fit and very confident. This could be her escape route. The purpose, as every woman understood, was to get a man who, in the later immortal words of , should be wealthy, loyal, and dumb. As one account has it, she simply challenged the chief of the royal household guard, Jacques de Brun, to a sword fight. De Brun was an experienced soldier and might have thought this was madness, barely worth lifting a weapon, but Emilie knew what she was doing. They each put down their swords, panting. To her mother this was the worst possible thing she could have done. We may be forced to send her to a convent [after all], but no abbess would accept her. She began to study and read on her own. What she learned went roughly like this:In medieval times, several hundred years earlier, there had been virtually no science. I've a friend who is much more obsessed with this than I am, but obsessed I am and will probably remain. This book would have been improved by in As I sit watching religious fanatics bring the enlightenment to an end I can't help reading things about the enlightenment and regretting witnessing the end of that great project. This book would have been improved by incorporating more of that chapter into this. I think the author was afraid of repeating himself - but not everyone would read both books and this book lost out by not explaining her contribution to proving Newton wrong. What a woman - how could Voltaire not have fall in love with her? He was a fool to ever lose her. Simple as that. Voltaire comes out of this book rather badly, to be honest. She comes out perhaps a little too well, can she really have been so saintly? To be a woman who proved Newton wrong - remembering that the French Revolutionaries wanted to start the new calendar from his birthday - ought to have made her a god. That she seems little remembered is a crime. This is a truly fascinating story of a woman, an intellectual, a revolutionary thinker and a scientist, at a time when women had no right to be any of these things. Most men had no right to be any of these things either. The story of her all too early death is tragic and a reminder of how fortunate we are to live at a time of modern science when the words child birth and 40 don't strike fear into the hearts of women. A fascinating account of a pair of fascinating people. Mar 29, Emma Deplores Goodreads Censorship rated it liked it Shelves: historical-women , science , history , research , nonfiction , france , biography , 3-stars. This is a frothy historical biography best described by its title. Unfortunately it does not live up to either the dramatic promise of its subtitle, or to the serious intentions stated in its preface. Bodanis seems attached to the notion that this relationship provided du Chatelet with the confidence and support she needed to engage in scientific work, but it seemed to me that much of the evidence he provides argues against this conclusion. Which of these people is actually providing useful support, and which one has become an obstacle? Interestingly, in the acknowledgements he says that while writing the book, he sent it out in installments to friends, and they and their friends and coworkers all eagerly signed up for more. Great material, but perhaps not the best possible treatment of it. Nov 15, Ross Blocher rated it it was amazing.

It is a place and time period for which I have little inherent interest, and it Passionate Minds is the story of two brilliant indivdiuals, Emilie du Chatelet and Voltaire: their off-and-on partnership both romantic and intellectual , and their role in the world's transition to modernity. It is a place and time period for which I have little inherent interest, and it is to David Bodanis's credit that I was so engaged in the tale. It was fascinating to learn about his constant evasion of prosecution by the upper crust he'd insulted with verse, his keen ability to make the best of a bad situation once by manipulating a lottery into vast wealth and other times by writing new works , his constant hypochondria, and his largely unsuccessful forays into science. Emilie du Chatelet is the real breakout star here - at least, this was the first time I had encountered her. Emilie's life is especially interesting when contrasted with that of her contemporaries. She was not formally trained in the sciences, but one of her father's friends shared astronomy with her. Emilie collected books on her own, even using her natural skill at calculation to game the gambling tables, earning proceeds to purchase more books. She could hold her own in a sword fight against even a trained military man. She was an adept mathematician and theoretician, and extrapolated from her readings to calculate the force of gravity on Jupiter and the speed light traveled across the solar system. I was fascinated to learn of the sexual freedom Emilie enjoyed. Though married to a military officer, it was understood that he would have mistresses and she would carry on her own affairs. When her romance with Voltaire began, they were thrilled to have found intellectual equals. While she excelled in mathematics and scientific inquiry, Voltaire was a master of writing. Together they created a volume explaining the works of Newton - Voltaire got credit as the author, but he dedicated the work to her, and an illustrated frontispiece depicted Emily as the true reflector of Newton's genius, and Voltaire as the humble scribe. In a later contest, both carried on independent inquiries into the nature of fire; Voltaire attempted to measure weight loss-and-gain as metals were heated there is weight fluctuation, but his scales were orders of magnitude too coarse to measure it and Emilie in secret devised an experiment that would test the energies of the component wavelengths of light. It is a shame that she had the resources at hand to carry out these experiments, but hesitated in order to not usurp Voltaire. Decades later the experiment would produce important results. Emilie and Voltaire took turns collaborating and competing, but each spurred the other to greater achievement. Even , though produced after Emilie's death, can be read as Voltaire's last word on their debates over the merits of Liebniz's "" - a new concept of "the best possible world" that Emilie championed and Voltaire despised. As both Voltaire and Emilie operated in the highest circles, we learn much of the nobility and aristocracy that surrounded them - the various places they were invited to stay, the people who stayed with them, and the affairs they and others engaged in. There is an interesting undercurrent of stories about the poor sanitation of the time, methods of communication, military meaneuvers, competing plays, and other concerns of the day. Sadly, Emilie died in her early forties giving birth to a child fathered by one of her other love interests, Saint- Lambert who only surived for about a year. Thankfully, Emilie was able to complete her magnum opus, a detailed examination of some difficult Newtonian mathematics, before her death. It is fascinating to ponder how much more minds like Emilie's and Voltaire's could have accomplished if not hampered by custom and constantly fleeing capture, paying off debts, fighting illness, and the coping with the various vagaries of Europe.

Emilie seems to have lived her life with an extra-ordinary intensity especially in the last few months as she anticipated that she would not survive the birth of her third child and fought against time to complete her reworking of Newton's principia. Their intertwined lives are brimming with incidents that one would struggle to credit if written in a . David Bodanis has brought them both back to vivid life and also in the process brought to life the world of C18 France and the reign of Louis XV.

And she did that in the last months of her life, during the pregnancy that she sensed would kill her. Bodanis has an easy, highly readable style. He includes a long list of further reading that I will certainly investigate. I highly recommend the story of this astonishing woman. It moved me more than many a novel.

Voltaire wrote this in the s, shortly after meeting a brilliant woman of science Emilie du Chatelet , who also became the great love of his life. Everything he wrote above came true for Emilie. Voltaire became a different person after meeting her and she him. Voltaire is a household name partly because of her influence. Unfortunately, Emilie is not and she should be. She is mostly forgotten because it was too hard for men to reconcile her brilliance with her sex. You know that famous little equation of Einstein's? Well, she had a huge hand in that last little bit. She should be a name we all know as well as Voltaire or Einstein, yet we don't because she had a vagina. I could candy-coat it for you, but that's the real reason why she was dismissed from her rightful place in history. Though, to Voltaire's credit, he would be the first to tell you she was more brilliant than he was. Emilie and Voltaire were both part of the French Enlightenment out of a dark age where the rich were considered superior over the poor and thus were above paying taxes - literally for centuries some families paid nadda in taxes in France. The dark ages were a time when prejudice was sanctioned and sexism was the norm. It was a time when women were more likely to be raped or beaten than allowed to get an education. It was a time when rich men were held above all others. The dark ages were a time when freedom of religion could get you killed and ones very sex or sexual orientation could be ones ultimate downfall or ruin. Voltaire and Emilie were at the heart of ideas that later spurred on the French and American Revolutions. Hatred of these same ideas is at the heart of what groups like al-Queda and Isis are really waging war on. Ideas that say that diversity of religion should be respected, women should be treated equally, church and state should be separate, and that beliefs of the dark ages are not the sole path to the truth. They both had the intellect and guts to stand in defiance of a "let them eat cake" monarchy and it almost cost them their very lives. They believed in the radical idea that free will and freedom were things to hold dear. They believed in crashing through the wall of their day's social order that favored the well-to-do above the masses. If they were in America today, they would be fighting mad as they would see quite clearly that too many in American politics are coveting dark age concepts. They would also see the irony of the masses buying what those dark age bastards are selling us today. They would be appalled in a way that not enough Americans seem to be. A masterpiece of work by David Bodanis, Passionate Minds is the real-life retelling of the life of the astounding eighteenth century woman, Emilie du Chatelet, and the love affair she shared with perhaps the greatest known man from the Enlightenment -- Voltaire. This book was recommended to me by my sister. As I began to read, it became quickly evident that Du Chatelet was unfairly overshadowed by Voltaire in regard to the impact she had on the Enlightenment. Here is a woman who defied the custo A masterpiece of work by David Bodanis, Passionate Minds is the real-life retelling of the life of the astounding eighteenth century woman, Emilie du Chatelet, and the love affair she shared with perhaps the greatest known man from the Enlightenment -- Voltaire. Here is a woman who defied the customs of her day to seek mathematical and scientific discoveries of the world and universe, all with the handicap of not being afforded the great education that was provided to men during her lifetime. She not only survived in a man's world, she out-did the quickest minds of the men who ruled it. Hers was a mind of passionate wonder. Indeed, Bodanis seems to paint his subjects with a flair for understanding that both Du Chatelet and Voltaire were passionate human beings, driven towards each other and towards greater scientific discovery by an inner voice that guided them to become more than what their original stations in life seemed to offer them. And, despite Emilie du Chatelet's birth into an influential, aristocratic family, the time in which she was born indicated that limits would be placed upon her solely because of her gender. Both would reach beyond the bounds of these circumstances to unite in their mutual search for scientific discovery. Emilie's husband, understanding of her need to use her mind for greater gifts, not only seemed to encourage her need for intellectual pursuits, but seemed more than willing to accept and support her relationship with Voltaire. In Passionate Minds, one cannot help but note that there always seemed a sense of insecurity with Voltaire. History paints Voltaire as a man of words, science, and moral acumen. Bodanis provides enough evidence to suggest Voltaire is indeed secure in his greatness, but goes further to describe Voltaire as a boastful man, sometimes stymied by vanity and insecurity, willing to take credit when credit is not solely due to him. If given proper due from history, history would see that she was perhaps the intellectual equal of the men whom she studied, notably John Locke, Sir Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Wilheim von Leibniz; certainly she was intellectually more superior to Voltaire Bodanis suggests this truth was known by Voltaire himself and perhaps one of the major factors that eventually led the insecure Voltaire to break things off with Emilie. Her teaming with Voltaire was most fruitful, providing for each a safe haven in which they could engage in their scientific labors of love. Their story is not free of disappointments, however, and most certainly, it was Du Chatelet who was at the receiving end of the more heart-breaking let downs that would ultimately lead to her death. Even her once beloved Voltaire was not exempt from hurting her, but through it all, what remained was a friendship, devotion, and bond that stood against all disappointments and betrayals. It is sad that Emilie du Chatelet is most noted in history as the lover of Voltaire. Bodanis attempts to change Du Chatelet as a footnote in history to a more relevant character by introducing us to the true genius that she was. Her translation of Newton's work stands the test of time and is proof of her greatness. Emilie was superior to Voltaire and any of the mathematical and scientific men of her day in the breadth and depth of her intellectual prowess and understanding. Bodanis should be commended for shedding more light on the amazingly astounding Emilie du Chatelet. Through Bodanis's Passionate Minds, I hope the world finally pays due respect to the wonderful, richly fascinating historical figure that was Emilie du Chatelet. View 2 comments.

Bodanis's thesis is that Voltaire and Emilie provided models of thinking people in an unconventional relationship she was a Voltaire, a literary genius, and Emilie du Chatelet, a scientific genius, had a fascinating and complex relationship. Bodanis's thesis is that Voltaire and Emilie provided models of thinking people in an unconventional relationship she was a married aristocratic woman, he an unmarried writer known for making caustic remarks for thinkers throughout France, greatly influencing the movement of the Enlightenment. Most poignant to me was Voltaire's feelings of inferiority to Emilie's brilliance with mathematics and science. As a man who wanted to be a modern thinker, he wanted to prove his ability in scientific fields but always fell far short of her. But he soon learned to apply scientific methods to the field in which his genius lay -- literature. Emilie, for her part, did not want to feed his insecurity and did much of her experimentation in secret. However -- and I don't want to sound to snooty about it -- the book was not as intellectually vigorous as I would like. Bodanis does not attempt any meaningful analysis or criticism of either Voltaire's or du Chatelet's work, especially in how they influenced each other. He makes reference to a play Voltaire wrote to impress Emilie without even properly summarizing its plot; Emilie's revelation having to do with Newton's work about conservation of energy is never properly explained. This is a fine book as an introduction to both Voltaire and du Chatelet. But I longed to delve deeper into the psychology and work of both people -- I'll be looking at other sources for that. Not a bad read, depending on what you're looking for. Given the very disparate natures of the two great personages this book chronicles, one might approach it from two main angles. By and large, the author does a very good job focusing on where the two converge. There are plenty of other interesting facets of 18th century France presented as well, of course. As a Mathematics major, I was a little disappoint Not a bad read, depending on what you're looking for. As a Mathematics major, I was a little disappointed. In fact, just about the only numbers are dates. This is in stark contrast to Voltaire's work, whose excerpts are scattered all throughout. Indubitably she was, but it would be nice to see for oneself. As someone who very much enjoyed Candide and Other Stories , I was anything but disappointed with Voltaire's treatment. Rather, I felt enlightened. There were many such instances of sudden clarity, where I would have to stop and reflect back on one of his stories. The author makes it very clear just how close Voltaire's writing corresponded to the events of his life. I feel in retrospect that I should have known all this before reading his collected works in the first place; I may now have to read them again, for greater insight. As well, I found the title spot on! Although nonfiction, at times the events within it read more like a novel. Bodanis actually discovered Emilie du Chatelet while researching another book he was writing about Einstein. What he discovered was a thunderbolt of a woman, whose scientific studies were a prelude to some of the greatest discoveries in physics, including Einstein's theory of relativity. Amazingly, the book does not get bogged down with mathematical and scientific theories. While Emilie's findings in these areas are profound, the events in her life went beyond the exploration of intellectual discoveries. Here is where Bodanis shines. He focuses on the intrigues and love affairs that surrounded Emilie's life, most notably those surrounding her fifteen- year relationship with poet and Voltaire. Through this relationship we get a glimpse of the crumbling social order preceding the French Revolution, as well as the birth of the Enlightenment. The two lovers engage in a robust life vacillating between scientific exploration and intrigue at Versailles. Although Passionate Minds succeeds in painting a vivid portrait of Voltaire as a vulnerable lover, it's greatest achievement is opening us to the world of Emilie du Chatelet. While her life and death intricately revolved around her womanhood, this book succeeds in highlighting her life's achievements despite the limitations of the age in which she lived. Emilie du Chatelet is one of my favorite women in math and science. Known as Issac Newton's collaborator, this is an excellent well researched biography about this brilliant mathmetician and physicist, her groundbreaking translation and commentary of Sir Issac Newton's Principia Mathematica, her study of Isaac Newton, Isaac Newton's arch rival and enemy Gottfried Leibniz, Willem 's Gravesande, her indepth study of the bible trying to understand God better, and her career changing inspiration of Emilie du Chatelet is one of my favorite women in math and science.

His early life is given rich historical context and the author does well to humanize him during his long affair with Emilie. We get to know Voltaire as a man, rather than a symbol of intellectual superiority. On a whole I thought Bodanis really personalized these two fascinating individuals as well as their friends. He captured the spirit of and the royal court of Louis that you can't help but feel connected to a place in time in history other than the present. If you desire to read about a woman who has a strenth of character that is truly extraordinary for the period than I highly recommend this book.

Although I am sure the author drew his conclusions about their motivations from extensive reading of their letters and other writings, these were glossed over superficially, and it gave the book a pop-psychology feel.

I was interested in the hist The personal story of Emilie du Chatelet and Voltaire got old pretty quickly for me. I was interested in the history of intellectual thought during the Enlightenment, and I think the book did a better job here. By using two individuals of opposite sex and differing socioeconomic backgrounds, he had a neat presentation format for how intellectual thought and natural philosophy began to change during this period, from the perspective of two minds actively involved in the change itself. I found the references and reading suggestions at the end to be the most valuable; they are substantial, and well-defined by the author. I have a new reading list to go on from here.

Simply living such an eventful life is probably enough justification for writing a biography, but on top of that Emilie despite her fundamental scientific and philosophical contributions to Enlightenment thinking is nowadays little- known and underappreciated. So it's natural that someone coming across Emlie's life might feel compelled to write a biography. I just can't help feeling that the author was maybe not the best person for the job. It feels mean to say, but reading this book felt like a strange duality of being engaged by the highly interesting subject matter while being put-off and bored by the lackluster presentation of the content. Furthermore I can't really put my finger on any tangible stylistic points that lead to this impression, besides the author's tendency to sometimes chime in with a tongue- in-cheek comment on some person's personality flaws. Which are a bit off-putting but aren't enough to weigh down the book on their own.

A very well crafted biography of two lovers -- and two great minds -- that paved the way for the Enlightenment. We know the poet, Voltaire, he of the great Candide, among his many other works. Much less is known about his lifelong companion and on-again, off-again lover, Emilie du Chatelet, an educated and brilliant scientist whose work on Newton help paved the way for an entire century of scientists. Set in the early 18th Century, the biography reads like a romance, a history text, and a volume A very well crafted biography of two lovers -- and two great minds -- that paved the way for the Enlightenment. Set in the early 18th Century, the biography reads like a romance, a history text, and a volume of hard science rolled together in a pleasing and thoughtful narrative that never slows or loses its momentum. Voltaire is a captivating character, and a thoroughly modern one as well. One would only wonder what he would have done with a twitter account His achievements follow the many valleys in his life, and its good to see that Bodanis does not skim over the great writer's many faults. As for his partner, there's sadness here, unavoidable as we look at what du Chatelet went through during a time when most women were only marginally educated and pushed to the edges of society. And yet, throughout the book we sense her commitment, both to her work and her desire for freedom, and it lingers well after the book is over. More than anything, it is the sense of human possibility that drives the book forward. Much like the Enlightenment that will follow them in the years to come. Bodanis is on firm ground here, with who left behind numerous letters and written accounts of their work and actions, and he does the story right by focusing on the lesser known du Chatelet. She is something of a tragic figure, but her fierceness and vulnerability leap off the pages, and when the book ends, we can't help but wonder about our own commitment.

Through the prism of their tumultuous fifteen-year relationship we see the crumbling of an ancient social order and the birth of the Enlightenment. Together the two lovers rebuilt a dilapidated and isolated rural chateau at Cirey where they conducted scientific experiments, entertained many of the leading thinkers of the burgeoning scientific revolution, and developed radical ideas about the monarchy, the nature of free will, the subordination of women, and the separation of church and state. But their time together was filled with far more than reading and intellectual conversation. The pair survived court intrigues at Versailles, narrow escapes from agents of the king, a covert mission to the idyllic lakeside retreat of Frederick the Great of Prussia, forays to the royal gambling tables where Emilie put her mathematical acumen to lucrative use , and intense affairs that bent but did not break their bond. Based on a rich array of personal letters, as well as writings from houseguests, neighbors, scientists, and even police reports, Passionate Minds is both panoramic and intimate in feeling. It is an unforgettable love story and a vivid rendering of the birth of modern ideas. Originally from Chicago, Bodanis lived in France for a decade and currently lives in London, England. He was talking about the distant stars. He was explaining that they are huge suns like our own, with inhabited planets around them. Instead, we should gaze outward and breathe freely. It was dark outside, and the light from more than a dozen candles Wlled the room; the servants worked quietly amidst the glasses and plates and silver serving trays. This was one of the Wrst times she had been allowed to stay up so late. Even better, Fontenelle was scarcely paying attention to anyone else. He had arranged this evening, for he recognized that his daughter was diVerent from other children, badgering him with constant questions about history and the court and the stars and religion. Her mother, Gabrielle-Anne, was also at the table—and she was distinctly not amused. Gabrielle-Anne was one of those once-beautiful women who forever remain unhappy in life, however wealthy they are. Never, ever comb your hair in church. You must be careful with the word monseigneur, it is pronounced diVerently for a prince of the Church and for a prince of the blood. But Emilie had been bored and showed it. She was everything a mother could hope for: compliant, pretty, and always wearing the right clothes. Emilie had desperately wanted to join them, but she could never quite say or do the right thing. If she did try, she was more likely to blurt out some complex question in philosophy or theology. She would have been better oV asking about fashion. Emilie was relegated to small ground-Xoor rooms, looking out on a wall. Fontenelle told the ten- year-old Emilie about the thick band of white in the night sky called the Milky Way, and explained that this too was but a seeding of worlds, in far greater number than we could imagine. Emilie was entranced with what might lie out there in space. According to Fontenelle, it seemed impossible that anyone on Earth could possibly weigh distant Saturn, or determine the temperature there. But what might be discovered in the future if you really used your mind? Her father was unusual.

According to Fontenelle, it seemed impossible that anyone on Earth could possibly weigh distant Saturn, or determine the temperature there. But what might be discovered in the future if you really used your mind? Her father was unusual. Most European thinkers of the time were convinced that human adults were actually two diVerent species, with males having been created with superior intellects to match their superior strength. Now he began to bring tutors to the house for her. As the years went on, she translated Virgil and learned to read Tasso in the original Italian; she had the pleasure of memorizing long stretches of Lucretius and Horace as well. Yet when someone is born with a soul that wants more, at least solitary study is there to console them. That would have been a catastrophe for Emilie. Punishment at elite convent schools included sending young girls, repeatedly and alone, to pray in stiXing dark burial vaults. Fortunately for Emilie, her father managed to hold out against the convent. But even though she got to study, she was still lonely—and could scarcely leave the house. She was constrained to stay in. She had exactly two alternatives in life: either she could marry into a family that would keep her well or she really could be sent to a convent. It was not a biological clock but a Wnancial one that now began to tick. For many years he had been chief of etiquette at Versailles and had earned a great deal by negotiating with foreign dignitaries to give them access to the king. After Louis XIV died, however, in , that had stopped. Now, though, Emilie filled out. Her face took on an attractive oval shape, her hazel eyes widened, and she became, if not the perfect beauty that her mother had been, then a tall young woman who was very fit and very confident. This could be her escape route. The purpose, as every woman understood, was to get a man who, in the later immortal words of Dorothy Parker, should be wealthy, loyal, and dumb. As one account has it, she simply challenged the chief of the royal household guard, Jacques de Brun, to a sword fight. De Brun was an experienced soldier and might have thought this was madness, barely worth lifting a weapon, but Emilie knew what she was doing. They each put down their swords, panting. To her mother this was the worst possible thing she could have done. Based on a rich array of personal letters, as well as writings from houseguests, neighbors, scientists, and even police reports, Passionate Minds is both panoramic and intimate in feeling. It is an unforgettable love story and a vivid rendering of the birth of modern ideas. Now David Bodanis has not only brought her to life, but also uncovered one of the great love affairs of the eighteenth century. A story well worth the retelling, and Bodanis tells it vividly. Both fast-paced and profound, Passionate Minds is an intellectual roller-coaster ride that puts the excitement back into the Enlightenment. I was fascinated to learn of the sexual freedom Emilie enjoyed. Though married to a military officer, it was understood that he would have mistresses and she would carry on her own affairs. When her romance with Voltaire began, they were thrilled to have found intellectual equals. While she excelled in mathematics and scientific inquiry, Voltaire was a master of writing. Together they created a volume explaining the works of Newton - Voltaire got credit as the author, but he dedicated the work to her, and an illustrated frontispiece depicted Emily as the true reflector of Newton's genius, and Voltaire as the humble scribe. In a later contest, both carried on independent inquiries into the nature of fire; Voltaire attempted to measure weight loss-and-gain as metals were heated there is weight fluctuation, but his scales were orders of magnitude too coarse to measure it and Emilie in secret devised an experiment that would test the energies of the component wavelengths of light. It is a shame that she had the resources at hand to carry out these experiments, but hesitated in order to not usurp Voltaire. Decades later the experiment would produce important results. Emilie and Voltaire took turns collaborating and competing, but each spurred the other to greater achievement. Even Candide, though produced after Emilie's death, can be read as Voltaire's last word on their debates over the merits of Liebniz's "optimism" - a new concept of "the best possible world" that Emilie championed and Voltaire despised. As both Voltaire and Emilie operated in the highest circles, we learn much of the nobility and aristocracy that surrounded them - the various places they were invited to stay, the people who stayed with them, and the affairs they and others engaged in. There is an interesting undercurrent of stories about the poor sanitation of the time, methods of communication, military meaneuvers, competing plays, and other concerns of the day. Sadly, Emilie died in her early forties giving birth to a child fathered by one of her other love interests, Saint- Lambert who only surived for about a year. Thankfully, Emilie was able to complete her magnum opus, a detailed examination of some difficult Newtonian mathematics, before her death. It is fascinating to ponder how much more minds like Emilie's and Voltaire's could have accomplished if not hampered by custom and constantly fleeing capture, paying off debts, fighting illness, and the coping with the various vagaries of 18th century Europe.

Emilie seems to have lived her life with an extra-ordinary intensity especially in the last few months as she anticipated that she would not survive the birth of her third child and fought against time to complete her reworking of Newton's principia. Their intertwined lives are brimming with incidents that one would struggle to credit if written in a novel. David Bodanis has brought them both back to vivid life and also in the process brought to life the world of C18 France and the reign of Louis XV. Dec 29, Shayne rated it it was amazing Shelves: non-fiction. This was a wonderful read. This is a story a writer of fiction would hardly dare invent. And she did that in the last months of her life, during the pregnancy that she sensed would kill her. Bodanis has an easy, highly readable style. He includes a long list of further reading that I will certainly investigate. I highly recommend the story of this astonishing woman. It moved me more than many a novel.

Voltaire wrote this in the s, shortly after meeting a brilliant woman of science Emilie du Chatelet , who also became the great love of his life. Everything he wrote above came true for Emilie. Voltaire became a different person after meeting her and she him. Voltaire is a household name partly because of her influence. Unfortunately, Emilie is not and she should be. She is mostly forgotten because it was too hard for men to reconcile her brilliance with her sex. You know that famous little equation of Einstein's? Well, she had a huge hand in that last little bit. She should be a name we all know as well as Voltaire or Einstein, yet we don't because she had a vagina. I could candy-coat it for you, but that's the real reason why she was dismissed from her rightful place in history. Though, to Voltaire's credit, he would be the first to tell you she was more brilliant than he was. Emilie and Voltaire were both part of the French Enlightenment out of a dark age where the rich were considered superior over the poor and thus were above paying taxes - literally for centuries some families paid nadda in taxes in France. The dark ages were a time when prejudice was sanctioned and sexism was the norm. It was a time when women were more likely to be raped or beaten than allowed to get an education. It was a time when rich men were held above all others. The dark ages were a time when freedom of religion could get you killed and ones very sex or sexual orientation could be ones ultimate downfall or ruin. Voltaire and Emilie were at the heart of ideas that later spurred on the French and American Revolutions. Hatred of these same ideas is at the heart of what groups like al-Queda and Isis are really waging war on. Ideas that say that diversity of religion should be respected, women should be treated equally, church and state should be separate, and that beliefs of the dark ages are not the sole path to the truth. They both had the intellect and guts to stand in defiance of a "let them eat cake" monarchy and it almost cost them their very lives. They believed in the radical idea that free will and freedom were things to hold dear. They believed in crashing through the wall of their day's social order that favored the well-to-do above the masses. If they were in America today, they would be fighting mad as they would see quite clearly that too many in American politics are coveting dark age concepts. They would also see the irony of the masses buying what those dark age bastards are selling us today. They would be appalled in a way that not enough Americans seem to be. A masterpiece of work by David Bodanis, Passionate Minds is the real-life retelling of the life of the astounding eighteenth century woman, Emilie du Chatelet, and the love affair she shared with perhaps the greatest known man from the Enlightenment -- Voltaire. This book was recommended to me by my sister. As I began to read, it became quickly evident that Du Chatelet was unfairly overshadowed by Voltaire in regard to the impact she had on the Enlightenment. Here is a woman who defied the custo A masterpiece of work by David Bodanis, Passionate Minds is the real-life retelling of the life of the astounding eighteenth century woman, Emilie du Chatelet, and the love affair she shared with perhaps the greatest known man from the Enlightenment -- Voltaire. Here is a woman who defied the customs of her day to seek mathematical and scientific discoveries of the world and universe, all with the handicap of not being afforded the great education that was provided to men during her lifetime. She not only survived in a man's world, she out-did the quickest minds of the men who ruled it. Hers was a mind of passionate wonder. Indeed, Bodanis seems to paint his subjects with a flair for understanding that both Du Chatelet and Voltaire were passionate human beings, driven towards each other and towards greater scientific discovery by an inner voice that guided them to become more than what their original stations in life seemed to offer them. And, despite Emilie du Chatelet's birth into an influential, aristocratic family, the time in which she was born indicated that limits would be placed upon her solely because of her gender. Both would reach beyond the bounds of these circumstances to unite in their mutual search for scientific discovery. Emilie's husband, understanding of her need to use her mind for greater gifts, not only seemed to encourage her need for intellectual pursuits, but seemed more than willing to accept and support her relationship with Voltaire. In Passionate Minds, one cannot help but note that there always seemed a sense of insecurity with Voltaire. History paints Voltaire as a man of words, science, and moral acumen. Bodanis provides enough evidence to suggest Voltaire is indeed secure in his greatness, but goes further to describe Voltaire as a boastful man, sometimes stymied by vanity and insecurity, willing to take credit when credit is not solely due to him. If given proper due from history, history would see that she was perhaps the intellectual equal of the men whom she studied, notably John Locke, Sir Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Wilheim von Leibniz; certainly she was intellectually more superior to Voltaire Bodanis suggests this truth was known by Voltaire himself and perhaps one of the major factors that eventually led the insecure Voltaire to break things off with Emilie. Her teaming with Voltaire was most fruitful, providing for each a safe haven in which they could engage in their scientific labors of love. Their story is not free of disappointments, however, and most certainly, it was Du Chatelet who was at the receiving end of the more heart- breaking let downs that would ultimately lead to her death. Even her once beloved Voltaire was not exempt from hurting her, but through it all, what remained was a friendship, devotion, and bond that stood against all disappointments and betrayals. It is sad that Emilie du Chatelet is most noted in history as the lover of Voltaire. Bodanis attempts to change Du Chatelet as a footnote in history to a more relevant character by introducing us to the true genius that she was. Her translation of Newton's work stands the test of time and is proof of her greatness. Emilie was superior to Voltaire and any of the mathematical and scientific men of her day in the breadth and depth of her intellectual prowess and understanding. Bodanis should be commended for shedding more light on the amazingly astounding Emilie du Chatelet. Through Bodanis's Passionate Minds, I hope the world finally pays due respect to the wonderful, richly fascinating historical figure that was Emilie du Chatelet. View 2 comments.

David Bodanis depicts that interweaving of love, admiration, respect, insecurity, secrecy, betrayal and reconciliation. It is to his credit that he has written about an important relationship that has for some time not been given the attention it deserves. Bodanis's thesis is that Voltaire and Emilie provided models of thinking people in an unconventional relationship she was a Voltaire, a literary genius, and Emilie du Chatelet, a scientific genius, had a fascinating and complex relationship. Bodanis's thesis is that Voltaire and Emilie provided models of thinking people in an unconventional relationship she was a married aristocratic woman, he an unmarried writer known for making caustic remarks for thinkers throughout France, greatly influencing the movement of the Enlightenment. Most poignant to me was Voltaire's feelings of inferiority to Emilie's brilliance with mathematics and science. As a man who wanted to be a modern thinker, he wanted to prove his ability in scientific fields but always fell far short of her. But he soon learned to apply scientific methods to the field in which his genius lay -- literature. Emilie, for her part, did not want to feed his insecurity and did much of her experimentation in secret. However -- and I don't want to sound to snooty about it -- the book was not as intellectually vigorous as I would like. Bodanis does not attempt any meaningful analysis or criticism of either Voltaire's or du Chatelet's work, especially in how they influenced each other. He makes reference to a play Voltaire wrote to impress Emilie without even properly summarizing its plot; Emilie's revelation having to do with Newton's work about conservation of energy is never properly explained. This is a fine book as an introduction to both Voltaire and du Chatelet. But I longed to delve deeper into the psychology and work of both people -- I'll be looking at other sources for that. Not a bad read, depending on what you're looking for. Given the very disparate natures of the two great personages this book chronicles, one might approach it from two main angles. By and large, the author does a very good job focusing on where the two converge. There are plenty of other interesting facets of 18th century France presented as well, of course. As a Mathematics major, I was a little disappoint Not a bad read, depending on what you're looking for. As a Mathematics major, I was a little disappointed. In fact, just about the only numbers are dates. This is in stark contrast to Voltaire's work, whose excerpts are scattered all throughout. Indubitably she was, but it would be nice to see for oneself. As someone who very much enjoyed Candide and Other Stories , I was anything but disappointed with Voltaire's treatment. Rather, I felt enlightened. There were many such instances of sudden clarity, where I would have to stop and reflect back on one of his stories. The author makes it very clear just how close Voltaire's writing corresponded to the events of his life. I feel in retrospect that I should have known all this before reading his collected works in the first place; I may now have to read them again, for greater insight. As well, I found the title spot on! Although nonfiction, at times the events within it read more like a novel. Bodanis actually discovered Emilie du Chatelet while researching another book he was writing about Einstein. What he discovered was a thunderbolt of a woman, whose scientific studies were a prelude to some of the greatest discoveries in physics, including Einstein's theory of relativity. Amazingly, the book does not get bogged down with mathematical and scientific theories. While Emilie's findings in these areas are profound, the events in her life went beyond the exploration of intellectual discoveries. Here is where Bodanis shines. He focuses on the intrigues and love affairs that surrounded Emilie's life, most notably those surrounding her fifteen- year relationship with poet and philosopher Voltaire. Through this relationship we get a glimpse of the crumbling social order preceding the French Revolution, as well as the birth of the Enlightenment.
