VOLTAIRE Born, Paris, France, 1694 Died, Paris, France, 1778 This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama Purchase Books by Voltaire T HIS brilliant playwright is known to the world today not by his own name, but simply as "Voltaire," the name he adopted after the successful production of his first play, Oedipe , in 1718. He was the son of a middle class family and was educated by Jesuit priests. From his earliest youth he seems to have been imbued with a spirit of skepticism and rebellion against intolerance. This characteristic which he was at no pains to hide, twice brought him imprisonment in the Bastille, and at a later date, periods of exile from France. One such exile in England brought Voltaire the acquaintance of the important contemporary English writers. Indeed, his writings were bringing him such fame outside of France that he corresponded with some of the greatest people of the day including Catherine the Great of Russia. About this time he spent several years in Berlin whither he had gone at the invitation of Frederick the Great of Prussia. During his stay in Berlin, Lessing , who was later to become the first great German dramatist, was employed by Voltaire in making translations.

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Voltaire: Patrie , in The Philosophical Dictionary A young journeyman pastry cook who had been to college, and who still knew a few of Cicero's phrases, boasted one day of loving his fatherland. "What do you mean by your >fatherland'?" a neighbor asked him. "Is it your oven? Is it the village where you were born and which you have never seen since? Is it the street where dwelled your father and mother who have been ruined and have reduced you to baking little pies for a living? Is it the town hall where you will never be a police superintendent's clerk? Is it the Church of Our Lady where you have not been able to become a choirboy, while an absurd man is archbishop and duke with an income of twenty thousand golden louis?" The journeyman pastry cook did not know what to answer. A thinker who was listening to this conversation, concluded that in a fatherland of some extent there were often many thousand men who had no fatherland. You, pleasure-loving Parisian, who have never made any great journey save that to Dieppe to eat fresh fish; who know nothing but your varnished town house, your pretty country house, and your box at that Opera where the rest of Europe persists in feeling bored; who speak your own language agreeably enough because you know no other, you love all that, and you love further the girls you keep, the champagne which comes to you from Rheims, the dividends which the Hôtel de Ville pays you every six months, and you say you love your fatherland!

85. Voltaire And Frederick The Great voltaire and Frederick the Great from Books and Characters, French and English byLytton Strachey, 1915 edited by Geoffrey Sauer This edition copyright © 1997 http://eserver.org/books/strachey/voltaire-and-frederick.html

Voltaire and Frederick the Great from Books and Characters, French and English by Lytton Strachey, 1915 edited by Geoffrey Sauer At the present time [October 1915] when it is so difficult to think of anything but of what is and what will be, it may yet be worthwhile to cast occasionally a glance backward at what was. Such glances may at least prove to have the humble merit of being entertaining: they may even be instructive as well. Certainly it would be a mistake to forget that Frederick the Great once lived in Germany. Nor is it altogether useless to remember that a curious old gentleman, extremely thin, extremely active, and heavily bewigged, once decided that, on the whole, it would be as well for him not to live in France. For, just as modern Germany dates from the accession of Frederick to the throne of Prussia, so modern France dates from the establishment of Voltaire on the banks of the Lake of Geneva. The intersection of those two momentous lives forms one of the most curious and one of the most celebrated incidents in history. To English readers it is probably best known through the few brilliant paragraphs devoted to it by Macaulay; though Carlyle's masterly and far more elaborate narrative is familiar to every lover of The History of Friedrich II.

Voltaire at Ferney W. H. Auden Perfectly happy now, he looked at his estate. An exile making watches glanced up as he passed And went on working; where a hospital was rising fast, A joiner touched his cap; an agent came to tell Some of the trees he'd planted were progressing well. The white alps glittered. It was summer. He was very great. Far off in Paris where his enemies Whsipered that he was wicked, in an upright chair A blind old woman longed for death and letters. He would write, "Nothing is better than life." But was it? Yes, the fight Against the false and the unfair Was always worth it. So was gardening. Civilize. Cajoling, scolding, screaming, cleverest of them all, He'd had the other children in a holy war Against the infamous grown-ups; and, like a child, been sly And humble, when there was occassion for The two-faced answer or the plain protective lie, But, patient like a peasant, waited for their fall. And never doubted, like D'Alembert, he would win: Only Pascal was a great enemy, the rest Were rats already poisoned; there was much, though, to be done

100. Infidel Death Beds An account of voltaire's death. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7308/deathbed.htm

Infidel Death-Beds by G. W. Foote and A. D. McLaren Published for the Secular Society Ltd. The Pioneer Press (G.W. Foot and Co. Ltd.) 61, Farringdon Street, E.C.4 FRANCOIS MARIE AROUET, generally known by the name of Voltaire, was born at Chatenay, on February 20, 1694. He died in Paris, on May 30, 1778. To write his life during those eighty-three years would be to give out intellectual history of Europe. While Voltaire was living at Ferney in 1768, he gave a curious exhibition of that profane sportiveness which was a strong element in his character. On Easter Sunday he took his Secretary Wagniere with him to commune at the village church, and also "to lecture a little those scoundrels who steal continually." Apprised of Voltaire's sermon on theft, the Bishop of Anneci rebuked him, and finally "forbade every curate, priest, and monk of his diocese to confess, absolve or give the communion to the seigneur of Ferney, without his express orders, under pain of interdiction." With a wicked light in his eyes, Voltaire said he would commune in spite of the Bishop; nay, that the ceremony should be gone through in his chamber. The curate of St. Sulpice was annoyed at being forestalled by the Abbe Gautier, and as Voltaire was his parishioner, he demanded "a detailed profession of faith and a disavowal of all heretical doctrines." He paid the dying Freethinker many unwelcome visits, in the vain hope of obtaining a full recantation, which would be a fine feather in his hat. The last of these visits is thus described by Wagniere, who was an eyewitness to the scene. We take Carlyle's translation: -
