Voltaire

François Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, was a writer, essayist, deist and French Enlightenment philosopher. Known for his insight and wit in defense of civil liberties, including religious freedom and free trade. It is one of many figures of the Enlightenment whose works and ideas influenced important thinkers of both the French Revolution and the American Revolution. A prolific writer, Voltaire produced about 70 works in almost all literary forms, subscribing to plays, poems, novels, essays, scientific and historical works, more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an open advocate of social reform despite strict censorship laws and severe punishments for anyone who broke them. A satirist polemicist, he often used his works to criticize the Catholic Church and the French institutions of his time. Voltaire is the patriarch of Ferney. He was known for directing harsh criticism of the absolutist kings and the privileges of the clergy and the nobility. To say what he thought, he was arrested twice, and to escape to a new prison, he took refuge in England.

Um polemista satírico, ele frequentemente usou suas obras para criticar a Igreja Católica e as instituições francesas do seu tempo. Voltaire é o patriarca de Ferney. Ficou conhecido por dirigir duras críticas aos reis absolutistas e aos privilégios do clero e da nobreza.
