About this audiobook

Jean Calas, père de famille protestant, est accusé d’avoir assassiné son fils pour l’empêcher de se convertir au catholicisme. Il est jugé, torturé puis exécuté à Toulouse. L’erreur judiciaire est manifeste, uniquement motivée par la haine religieuse. L’œuvre voltairienne fait suite au procès. Avec une ironie mordante et un style inimitable, l’écrivain plaide pour le respect des croyances et l’esprit de tolérance. Ce qui s’oppose à la tolérance, c’est, selon Voltaire, le fanatisme, la pensée qui refuse absolument la concurrence, la vérité si sûre d’elle qu’elle refuse à toute autre idée de s’exprimer.

Traité sur la tolérance: L'affaire Jean Calas
Author

. 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.
