94 reviewsFrançois-Marie Arouet 1694 – 1778 was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher (philosophe). Known by his nom de plume M. de Voltaire, he was famous for his wit and his criticism of Christianity, especially of the Roman Catholic Church and of slavery. Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and separation of church and state. He was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, histories and scientific expositions. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and 2,000 books and pamphlets. Voltaire was one of the first authors to become renowned and commercially successful internationally. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties and was at constant risk from the strict censorship laws of the Catholic French monarchy. His polemics witheringly satirized intolerance, religious dogma and the French institutions of his day. His best-known work and magnum opus, Candide, is a novella which comments on, criticizes and ridicules many events, thinkers and philosophies of his time.
