Story
Micromégas constitue, sous ses aspects de fiction fantastique, une plaisante leçon de relativisme. C'est, pour Voltaire, l'occasion de démontrer la sottise de vouloir tirer orgueil de ce que l'on est et l'absurdité d'un sentiment de supériorité que nous revendiquons dans nos opinions et nos croyances. Le narrateur promet de remettre en conclusion à l'Académie un livre où nous verrons, écrit-il, "le bout des choses". Or, en l'ouvrant, on découvre des pages blanches... Il n'y a pas de savoir absolu et définitif nous suggère ainsi Voltaire.

Story
Voltaire was a French writer famous for his wit and irony. They were his tools for launching vitriolic attacks on the established Catholic church, the adversaries of freedom of religion and expression, and on separation of church and state. His prolific writing took almost every possible literary form: plays, novels, essays, but also poems, historical and scientific works.

Story
Der Magier Mambres ist 1300 Jahre alt und hat schon Moses auf dessen Denkfehler hingewiesen. Im Laufe seines Lebens hat er natürlich einen ziemlich großen Bekanntenkreis aufgebaut und kennt Hexen, Fakire, den Hund vom Engel Gabriel, Böcke, die Sünden auf sich laden, den Fisch, der Jonasverschlungen hat und viele andere skurrile Geschöpfe unter Gottes beschränktem Himmel. Zu seinen leichtesten Übungen gehört es noch, Wasser in Blut oder Licht in Finsternis zu verwandeln.

Story
Der ganze Stolz des alten Belos, dem König von Babylon, ist seine 18-jährige Tochter Formosante, deren Schönheit mit Worten nicht beschrieben werden kann und welcher es dementsprechend schwerfällt, einen auch nur im Ansatz würdigen Ehemann zu finden. Königssöhne und alleinstehende Könige versuchen reihenweise ihr Glück, aber nur einer wird sich als würdig erweisen oder steckt hinter dieser Geschichte mehr als bloß eine Heirat? Ja - viel mehr.

Story
Das rebellierende Persönlichkeitswesen zeigte sich bereits in jungen Jahren bei Voltaire und er blieb seiner Linie ein Leben lang treu. Er war der Wortführer von Kritik an Staat und Kirche seiner Zeit. Seine Erzählungen spiegeln sein tiefes humanistisches Empfinden, seine ungezügelte Fantasie und seinen rasiermesserscharfen Verstand wider. Als ständiger Kritiker gesellschaftlicher Missstände und Freigeist sind seine Erzählungen Vorboten der am Horizont auflodernden Aufklärung und haben bis heute nichts von ihrer tiefen Menschlichkeit und ihrem Bildungscharakter verloren.

Story
Voltaire's Candide can only be described as a satirical novella that was intended to attack the optimistic and backwards way of thinking that was common during the 18th century. Filled with absurd and darkly humorous content, the short work is a highly debatable and thought-provoking piece. The story centers around Candide, the nephew of a baron, who's teacher, Pangloss, teaches Candide that the world is the way it should be and that everything in it is good.

Story
Voltaire met ici tous ses talents au service de la justice, après l'exécution de Jean Calas en 1762, dont il est convaincu de l'innocence. Calas est condamné pour le meurtre de son fils qui voulait se convertir au catholicisme. Cette réflexion sur le monde judiciaire reste très actuelle quant à la responsabilité des juges et la présomption d'innocence.

Il avait huit lieues de haut : j'entends, par huit lieues, vingt-quatre mille pas géométriques de cinq pieds chacun."

Story
Le convulse e mirabolanti avventure di Candido offrono alla scintillante, ironia e incisiva penna di Voltaire l'opportunità di dimostrare la vanità dell'ottimismo razionalista leibniziano e della teoria del migliore dei mondi possibili. E il lettore di ieri, come quello di oggi, cede all'incantesimo e si rende partecipe del sottile e intelligente gioco, passando velocemente dall'arbitrio narrativo alla meditazione filosofica.

Story
Conte philosophique considéré comme l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de Voltaire, "Candide" frappe par sa légèreté, et sa justesse. Le héros est un jeune homme crédule à qui son précepteur, Pangloss, inculque une théorie très simpliste sur l'optimisme. Les mésaventures du jeune héros mettent à mal cette doctrine. Cela permet à Voltaire de se moquer de toutes les théories métaphysiques qui ne résistent pas à l'épreuve des faits.
