About this audiobook

Micromégas constitue, sous ses aspects de fiction fantastique, une plaisante leçon de relativisme. C’est, pour Voltaire, l’occasion de démontrer la sottise de vouloir tirer orgueil de ce que l’on est et l’absurdité d’un sentiment de supériorité que nous revendiquons dans nos opinions et nos croyances. Le narrateur promet de remettre en conclusion à l’Académie un livre où nous verrons, écrit-il, «le bout des choses». Or, en l’ouvrant, on découvre des pages blanches... Il n’y a pas de savoir absolu et définitif nous suggère ainsi Voltaire. C’est au delà des certitudes que commence l’aventure de la réflexion qui fuit l’intolérance et s’ouvre à l’autre.

Texte lu par Michel Chaigneau, metteur en scène et acteur.

. Voltaire

Imprisoned in the Bastille at the age of twenty-three for a criminal libel against the Regent of France, François-Marie Arouet was freed in 1718 with a new name, Voltaire, and the completed manuscript of his first play, Oedipe, which became a huge hit on the Paris stage in the same year. For the rest of his long and dangerously eventful life, this cadaverous genius shone with uninterrupted brilliance as one of the most famous men in the world. Revered, and occasionally reviled, in the royal courts of Europe, his literary outpourings and fearless campaigning against the medieval injustices of church and state in the midst of the ‘Enlightenment’ did much to trigger the French Revolution and to formulate the present notions of democracy. But above all, Voltaire was an observer of the human condition, and his masterpiece Candide stands out as an astonishing testament to his unequalled insight into the way we were and probably always will be.
