This book deals with the life and the writings of Blaise Pascal, French inventor, writer and scientist. When we think of the achievements which he crowded into a brief space, and which have made his name famous to all generations, we may well exclaim with Corneille: "à peine a-t-il vecu, quel nom il a laissé!" (Barely lived, what a great name he left!).
