Story0
One of France's greatest writers, Voltaire was frequently persecuted for his ideas and as a result, spent time in the famed Bastille. He fled his native land for England in 1726, at which time he witnessed the differences between the two countries. His celebrated Letters on England was first published in that nation in 1733 and contained 24 succinct letters on subjects ranging from religion and politics, to trade, the arts, philosophy, and science.

In Little Blue Book Number 512, Will Durant delves into the life of Francois-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire (1694-1778). Described as unprepossessing, ugly, vain, flippant, unscrupulous, and at times dishonest, he was also tirelessly kind and considerate, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to both his friends and his principles. My trade is to say what I think, Voltaire proclaimed, and he did so with remarkable flair across ninety-nine sparkling and fruitful volumes. A staunch advocate for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the separation of church and state, Voltaires ...

Story0
Voltaire was een Franse schrijver bekend om zijn humor en ironie. Ze waren zijn gereedschap voor de lancering van venijnige aanvallen op de gevestigde Katholieke kerk, de tegenstanders van de vrijheid van godsdienst en meningsuiting, en op de scheiding van kerk en staat. Zijn vruchtbare schrijven duurde bijna alle mogelijke literaire vorm: toneelstukken, romans, essays, maar ook gedichten, historische en wetenschappelijke werken.

Story0
The seventeenth century was one of the most fascinating and seminal periods in European history, particularly with regard to France. For it was here in France that the fruits of the earlier Renaissance were to be most brilliantly realized. Although the path of "greatness" for Louis XIV was prepared for him by men like Richelieu, Mazarin, Colbert, Turenne, and Louvois, it was during his reign that French preeminence in all facets of civilization emerged.

Story0
Die kleine Schrift, die in diesem Hörbuch dem geneigten Zuhörer vorgestellt wird, stammt aus der Feder des Preußenkönigs Friedrich II., genannt der Alte Fritz. Er verfasste sie 1739 als junger Mann im Alter von 27 Jahren und nannte sie den "Antimachiavell". Damit nimmt er Bezug auf den berühmten "Principe" des Politikers und Staatsphilosophen Niccolo Machiavelli, die im Jahre 1532 veröffentlicht wurde - also bereits über zweihundert Jahre zuvor.
