About the Author
Voltaire (1694–1778) was the pseudonym of François-Marie Arouet, one of the most prominent writers and thinkers of the Enlightenment. After studying at the Collège de Clermont (now the Lycée Louis-le-Grand), he began writing philosophical works as well as poems, comedic plays, and other forms of literature. Voltaire was often imprisoned for publicly criticizing the French monarchy. His controversial beliefs included religious freedom, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state.
