Francois
Marie Arouet used the pseudonym Voltaire. He was a French author and
leader of the 'Enlightenment Movement'. He was a crusader against
tyranny and bigotry and noted for his satire, wit and critical capacity.
He raised his voice to lift the downtrodden. His writings spoke volumes
about the prevalent conditions.
He always labored for the progress of humanity. His literary efforts
fill more than 90 volumes. But the work that Voltaire did for mankind,
the good he accomplished, the progress he is responsible for, could
never be compressed into a thousand volumes. He was a man of genius.
He provided mankind with every weapon 'and left nothing for us to
do, but to carry on'. |
