Full video available on https://www.eduflix.it François-Marie Arouet, known as Voltaire, was born on November 21, 1694 in Paris, into a wealthy bourgeois family. From a very young age he was introduced to the life of the French court aristocracy, where he stood out thanks to his brilliant and shrewd wit. He wrote sharp satire that was successful in the salons, but earned him the hostility of the powerful; some verses against Philippe d'Orléans cost him arrest and imprisonment in the Bastille. After a dispute with another nobleman, the Chevalier de Rohan, in 1726 Voltaire went into exile in England; there he came into contact with the liberal culture of the time, which strongly influenced his thinking. He then wrote the English Letters, published in 1734, in which he celebrated the political and intellectual freedom of the country across the Channel and exalted the philosophy of Bacon, Locke and Newton. Back in France, he published literary, philosophical and scientific works, including the treatise Elements of Newton's Philosophy. In 1749 he accepted the invitation of Frederick II of Prussia and moved to his court. After a stay in Switzerland, in 1758 he returned to France, settling in the castle of Ferney. Here he continued his writing career, establishing himself as a leading figure of the European Enlightenment. His most famous novel, Candide, and historical and philosophical essays such as the Treatise on Tolerance and the Philosophical Dictionary date back to this period. At the age of 84, the author returned to Paris, where he received a triumphal welcome. He died there on 30 May 1778.
