Translated from the French & With An Introduction by John Butt. 191 pages. paperback. The cover illustration shows a detail from an engraving by G. Scotin, 'Le Grand Visir.'. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Written by the wittiest writer in an age of wits, these two tales are clearly the work of the mind that produced CANDIDE. Voltaire's faith in man's resilience is displayed with immense gaiety, inventive imagination, and irreverence for official doctrine. ZADIG, written in 1747, is full of vivaciousness and everyone always bounces hopefully up, whatever fate may have done. The humour is less constant in L'Ingenu and there is a mature and satisfying development in Voltaire's thinking on the problem of evil. John Butt has also translated CANDIDE in the Penguin Classics. François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20, 000 letters and more than 2, 000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day. inventory #14933.
