Por Voltaire

Pero su obra mas escandalosa fue Cartas filosoficas oCartas inglesas (1734), en las que Voltaire convierte un brillante reportaje sobre Gran Bretaña en una acerba critica del regimen frances. Se le dicto orden de arresto, pero logro escapar, refugiandose en Cirey, en la Lorena, donde gracias a la marquesa de Chatelet pudo l levar una vida acorde con sus gustos de trabajo y de trato social (1734-1749).

Voltaire

Voltaire was the pen name of François-Marie Arouet (1694–1778)a French philosopher and an author who was as prolific as he was influential. In books, pamphlets and plays, he startled, scandalized and inspired his age with savagely sharp satire that unsparingly attacked the most prominent institutions of his day, including royalty and the Roman Catholic Church. His fiery support of freedom of speech and religion, of the separation of church and state, and his intolerance for abuse of power can be seen as ahead of his time, but earned him repeated imprisonments and exile before they won him fame and adulation.
