About this ebook

Une édition de référence de Zadig ou la Destinée de Voltaire, spécialement conçue pour la lecture sur les supports numériques.

« Zadig éprouva que le premier mois du mariage, comme il est écrit dans le livre du Zend, est la lune du miel, et que le second est la lune de l'absinthe. Il fut quelque temps après obligé de répudier Azora, qui était devenue trop difficile à vivre, et il chercha son bonheur dans l'étude de la nature. « Rien n'est plus heureux, disait-il, qu'un philosophe qui lit dans ce grand livre que Dieu a mis sous nos yeux. Les vérités qu'il découvre sont à lui : il nourrit et il élève son âme, il vit tranquille ; il ne craint rien des hommes, et sa tendre épouse ne vient point lui couper le nez. » (Extrait du chapitre III.)

. 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.
