Autorenporträt
François-Marie Arouet, known by his literary pseudonym Voltaire, was a towering figure of the French Enlightenment era. Born on November 21, 1694, Voltaire was a prolific writer, philosopher, and wit, whose works encompassed plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific treatises. A fierce advocate for civil liberties, he frequently clashed with authorities and faced imprisonment and exile for his daring critiques. Voltaire's sharp satire and advocacy of freedom of speech, separation of church and state, and judicial reform left an indelible mark on Western thought. His tragedies, which are consolidated in the collection 'VOLTAIRE'S TRAGEDIES: 20+ Plays in One Volume,' represent a significant portion of his vast oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of dramatic form and the intricacies of the human psyche. In crafting these works, Voltaire sought not only to entertain but also to champion reason over superstition and to criticize social and political injustice. His literary style blends classical influences with a modern sense of wit, characterized by its clarity, elegance, and incisive social commentary. Voltaire's influence extends beyond literature into the realms of philosophy, history, and the fight for individual and societal freedoms, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest Enlightenment thinkers and writers.
