About :

Stéphane Bern takes you to meet one of the greatest French philosophers and men of letters: Voltaire. His real name is François-Marie Arouet, and he became famous at the age of 24 with his play Œdipe. Poet, historian, philosopher, he is the intellectual who best embodies the Age of Enlightenment. He makes superstition and the abuses of the Church the fight of his life. He does not hesitate to engage in the defense of Jean Calas, the Toulouse Protestant unjustly condemned to death and whose name and honor Voltaire manages to rehabilitate. He is also a genius mocker. His irony and ferocity towards power even earn him a few stays in the Bastille. A passionate lover, he shares a romantic and intellectual bond with the most brilliant woman of the 18th century, the Marquise Emilie du Châtelet. He maintained ambiguous relations with the sovereigns of Europe, criticizing and flattering them in turn. Louis XV was wary of him. The relationship with Frederick II, the King of Prussia nicknamed the Philosopher King, was short-lived. Voltaire was free and wanted to remain so. He ended up settling on the Franco-Swiss border in the small village of Ferney, renamed Ferney-Voltaire in his honor, which he made into a real economic powerhouse. It was in Ferney that he became a star to whom the entire aristocracy and enlightened bourgeoisie came to pay homage. This incredible journey ended in apotheosis on his return to Paris at the age of 83... ????Find Secrets d'histoire: thousands of videos on our platform: https://www.secretsdhistoire.tv/ on our store: https://laboutiquesecretsdhistoire.tv/ on Facebook: / secretsdhistoire on X: / secretshistoire on Instagram: / secretsdhistoire
