Voltaire, the pen name of François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), was one of the most influential leaders of the French Enlightenment. His defense of individual freedom of conscience and his criticisms of religious fanaticism and oppressive orthodoxy had a telling effect on Western history, inspiring several leading founders of America's new laws. This is the first English translation of many of his key texts from his famous pamphlet war for tolerance, written from 1750 to 1768, originally published under pseudonyms to avoid imprisonment and to educate the average citizen. Included are “The Sermon of Rabbi Akib” (a searing attack on anti-Semitism), “Prayer to God” (from the famous Treatise on Tolerance), the hugely popular “Catechism of the Honest Man,” "The Dinner at Count Boulainvillier's," and other witty, sometimes acerbic pieces that point out the errors in the Bible, the corruption of the clergy, and the religiously-inspired persecutions, both of his day and across the ages. Many of these pamphlets were burned in a losing battle by the authorities. With a lengthy introduction and copious notes by the editor and translator, plus an appendix including first-hand accounts of the battle by noted mathematician and French revolutionary Condorcet, Frederick the Great, Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith, and others, this excellent compilation will be a welcome addition to the libraries of anyone with an interest in human rights and freedom of thought.

In this miraculously compressed, incisive book David Andress argues that it was the peasantry of France who made and defended the Revolution of 1789. That the peasant revolution benefitted far more people, in more far reaching ways, than the revolution of lawyerly elites and urban radicals that has dominated our view of the revolutionary period. History has paid more attention to Robespierre, Danton and Bonaparte than it has to the millions of French peasants who were the first to rise up in 1789, and the most ardent in defending changes in land ownership and political rights. 'Those furthest from the center rarely get their fair share of the light', Andress writes, and the peasants were patronized, reviled and often persecuted by urban elites for not following their lead. Andress's book reveals a rural world of conscious, hard-working people and their struggles to defend their ways of life and improve the lives of their children and communities.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Französische Philologie - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Dresden, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Voltaire wurde 1694 als Sohn eines wohlhabenden Notars geboren. Einundzwanzigjährig kam er nach Paris, wo es schon bald zu Zusammenstößen mit den herrschenden Mächten, die ihm immer wieder Aufenthalte in der Bastille bescherten, kam. Um einer erneuten Gefangenschaft zu entgehen wanderte er 1726 nach England aus, wo er schnell von der geistigen Freiheit fasziniert war. Nach der Aufregung, die er mit seinen „Briefen über die Engländer“ in Frankreich verursachte, begab er sich in das Schloß Cirey der Marquise du Châtelet-Lomont und begann dort viele seiner sehr erfolgreichen Romane zu schreiben. Diese sollten im Besonderen dem Kampf gegen religiösen Fanatismus, Intoleranz und Aberglauben dienen, den er Zeit seines Lebens führte. In Berlin, wo er auf Grund seines Besuches von Friedrich II. verweilte, veröffentlichte Voltaire das Werk „Versuch über die Sitten und den Geist der Nationen“, welches in Frankreich wiederum für großes Aufsehen sorgte. Erneut blieb es ihm verwehrt, die Grenzen nach Frankreich zu überschreiten. Sein Exil in Ferney gestaltete sich schnell zu einem Anziehungspunkt verschiedenster Gelehrter, wurde aber für Voltaire auf Grund des Erdbebens von Lissabon (1735) und des Siebenjährigen Krieges auch zu einem Ort der Trauer sowie des Pessimismus. Aus dieser Situation heraus schrieb er das Werk „Candide“, auf welches hier eingegangen werden soll. Am Vorabend der Revolution starb Voltaire 83jährig mit der Erklärung: „Ich sterbe in der Anbetung Gottes, meine Freunde liebend, ohne Haß gegen meine Feinde und in Verachtung des Aberglaubens. Voltaire“

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
