[Ivan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un'edizione del 1980, un libriccino per l'ultimo anno di Liceo Scientifico di mia moglie, consigliatole dal suo professore di filosofia. Per me che l'ho letto solo dopo 34 anni è una buona introduzione a Pascal e alle sue opere, con annessa una piccola ma intelligente biografia
