关于作者

Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, was a prominent French writer and philosopher during the Enlightenment era. He is best known for his wit, advocacy for civil liberties, and criticism of established institutions, including the Church and the French government. Voltaire's writings spanned various genres, including plays, poetry, novels, and historical works, and he was a fierce proponent of freedom of speech and separation of church and state. His most famous work, "Candide," satirizes optimism and explores the absurdities of human existence.

Throughout his life, Voltaire lived in various countries, including England and Switzerland, where he found refuge from the oppressive regime in France. His experiences abroad greatly influenced his ideas and writings. He was a key figure in promoting Enlightenment ideals and inspired future generations of thinkers and writers. Voltaire's legacy endures today, as his work continues to be studied and celebrated for its profound impact on philosophy, literature, and social thought.
