Description
Voltaire was not a revolutionary, yet his mind and talent allowed him to unmistakably pinpoint the “pain points” of society.
His stories, created in the second half of the eighteenth century, are still read today as if they had been written yesterday.
Voltaire’s characters appear “from the outside,” and the freshness of their perception especially highlights the ugliness of reality.
In this reality, priests rise against Zadig for discouraging widows from burning themselves among the corpses of their husbands. The naive man doesn’t understand why marriage to a beloved person requires the consent of the Roman pope living in another country and speaking a foreign language, and why the actions of the religious people so widely diverge from what is written in the Bible. The giant Micromegas is asked not to bother with destroying the Earth, because people manage that on their own, while the optimist Candide encounters cruelty and violence as the natural state of the world.
