Om forfatteren
Voltaire, the pseudonym of François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), was a towering figure in the Enlightenment, influential in shaping the intellectual landscape of 18th century Europe. A prolific writer, historian, and philosopher, his oeuvre encompassed a vast array of genres, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. Voltaire's sharp wit, erudition, and advocacy for civil liberties, freedom of religion, and free trade left an indelible mark on literature and social thought. His most famous work, 'Candide, ou l'Optimisme' (1759), remains a seminal text in Western literature, providing a satirical critique of the optimistic philosophy of the day while entertaining readers with its picaresque structure. In 'Zadig' (1747) and 'Micromégas' (1752), Voltaire demonstrates his narrative prowess within the framework of the conte philosophique, blending storytelling with philosophical inquiry. The 'VOLTAIRE - Premium Collection' embodies the essence of his literary legacy, offering a comprehensive view of his style—marked by incisive humor and a subtle yet powerful use of irony. His writings not only reflect the intellectual currents of his time but also continue to offer poignant insights into human society and the condition of the individual.
