Reasoner and indefatigable polemicist, furious anti-metaphysician thinker, historian of his time, poet, playwright, pamphleteer, columnist and narrator, Voltaire left us an immense work that is the most faithful paradigm of his century, the century of reason and lights. In his stories, with a script that depends on "what was wanted to prove" without submitting to any other rule, the originality of the thinker happily joins the charm and irony of the story.
