About this audiobook
"Je vous offre la traduction d'un livre d'un ancien sage qui, ayant le bonheur de n'avoir rien à faire, eut celui de s'amuser à écrire l'histoire de Zadig, ouvrage qui dit plus qu'il ne semble dire. Je vous prie de le lire et d'en juger ; car, quoique vous soyez dans le printemps de votre vie, quoique tous les plaisirs vous cherchent, quoique vous soyez belle, et que vos talents ajoutent à votre beauté ; quoiqu'on vous loue du soir au matin, et que par toutes ces raisons vous soyez en droit de n'avoir pas le sens commun, cependant vous avez l'esprit très sage et le goût très fin, et je vous ai entendue raisonner mieux que de vieux derviches à longue barbe et à bonnet pointu."
(Voltaire)
. 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.
