Short stories in which Voltaire deploys his irony and sarcasm to question absolutism, intolerance, and the customs of the eighteenth century.

François-Marie Arouet, known by his pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, philosopher (philosophe), satirist, and historian. Famous for his wit and his criticism of Christianity and of slavery, Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
