Beaucoup moins par rapport à une poétique du conte qui, à force d’être pratiquée, se crispe mais se stylise aussi et révèle des constantes. Il se pourrait même que l’humeur, la hâte ou la peur d’en finir, le relâchement du propos, libèrent des virtualités narratives jusqu’alors contenues, et les ° 9 portent à un degré d’incandescence jamais atteint.

  • FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D
    FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D. Encyclopedia Britannica (New York 1911) vol. 28: 199-205. Electronic Text edited, modified & paginated by Dr Robert A. Hatch© VOLTAIRE, FRANCOIS MARIE AROUET DE. French philosopher, historian, dramatist and man of letters, whose real name was François Marie Arouet simply, was born on the 21st of November 1694 at Paris, and was baptized the next day. His father was François Arouet, a notary; his mother was Marie Marguerite Daumart or D’Aumard. Both father and mother were of Poitevin extraction, but the Arouets had been for two generations established in Paris, the grandfather being a prosperous tradesman. The family appear to have always belonged to the yeoman-tradesman class; their special home was the town of Saint-Loup. Voltaire was the fifth child of his parents—twin boys (of whom one survived), a girl, Marguerite Catherine, and another boy who died young, having preceded him. Not very much is known of the mother, who died when Voltaire was but seven years old. She pretty certainly was the chief cause of his early introduction to good society, the Abbé de Châteauneuf (his sponsor in more ways than one) having been her friend. The father appears to have been somewhat peremptory in temper, but neither inhospitable nor tyrannical. Marguerite Arouet, of whom her younger brother was very fond, married early, her husbands name being Mignot; the elder brother, Armand, was a strong Jansenist, and there never was any kind of sympathy between him and François. The Abbé do Châteauneuf instructed him early in belles lettres and deism, and he showed when a child the unsurpassed faculty for facile verse-making which always distinguished him.

  • Candide and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
    oxford world’ s classics CANDIDE and other stories Voltaire was the assumed name of François-Marie Arouet (1694– 1778). Born into a well-to-do Parisian family, he was educated at the leading Jesuit college in Paris. Having refused to follow his father and elder brother into the legal profession he soon won widespread acclaim for Œdipe (1718), the first of some twenty-seven tragedies which he continued to write until the end of his life. His national epic La Henriade (1723) confirmed his reputation as the leading French literary figure of his generation. Following a quarrel with the worthless but influential aristocrat, the Chevalier de Rohan, he was forced into exile in England. This period (1726–8) was particularly formative, and his Letters concern- ing the English Nation (1733) constitute the first major expression of Voltaire’s deism and his subsequent lifelong opposition to religious and political oppression. Following the happy years (1734–43) spent at Cirey with his mistress Mme du Châtelet in the shared pursuit of several intellectual enthusiasms, notably the work of Isaac Newton, he enjoyed a brief interval of favour at court during which he was appointed Historiographer to the King. After the death of Mme du Châtelet in 1749 he finally accepted an invitation to the court of Frederick of Prussia, but left in 1753 when life with this particular enlightened despot became intolerable. In 1755, after temporary sojourn in Colmar, he settled at Les Délices on the outskirts of Geneva. He then moved to nearby Ferney in 1759, the year Candide was published.

  • Voltaire. a Perfect Case for Comparison
    Voltaire. A perfect case for comparison ABDERHAMAN MESSAOUDI1 [email protected] My theoretical approach in this paper consists in showing that in Voltaire’s case comparison is a crucial issue in every sense of the word and on all fronts. More precisely, my questions are: in which way can comparison be useful in the treatment of Voltaire’s case and to what extent ? How does it play a crucial part in our way of perceiving the French philosopher ? In order to answer these questions, I shall start by considering two points. At first, a certain number of texts by Voltaire like Candide are usually called in French « contes » (a word which can be translated into English by « tales ») or « contes philosophiques ». Next, in general, Voltaire is still not considered as a true thinker or a real philosopher. With regard to the way of describing some of Voltaire’s texts, most scholars invite us to evacuate the problem of the distinctions of genre. They insist on the fact that in Voltaire’s time the difference between what was used to be called in French « roman » and « conte » did not exist or was not so important. Therefore, they claim to have adopted the word « conte » only by tradition and for convenience. But other scholars have different views on both points. Here, it seems relevant to make a first comparison : it is a simple question of comparing different scholars’ judgments. Concerning the description of Voltaire’s tales, Sylvain Menant retains like many others the word « contes » (1992 : xviii), but he does not deny the distinction between contes and romans for the eighteenth century.

The Conte philosophique in Le Taureau blanc THOMAS M.CARR, JR. le voudrais surtout que, sous le voile de la fable, il laisslit entrevoir aux yeux exercis quelque virite fine qlti echappe au vulgaire. Amaside on the conte Le Taureau blanc (1774)' offers remarkable insight into Voltaire's use of the conte as persuasive discourse for two reasons. First, as the pur- est example of the genre among his last contes, it is in many ways the quintessence of his talents as a conteur. This tale does not cover any new ideological territory in its treatment of the Old Testament, a preoccupation found in much of his production of the Ferney period; nor does it introduce any technical innovations.

Palavras-chave: Voltaire, Nietzsche, Zoroastro Résumé : Il s’agit de proposer une réflexion sur la relation entre Voltaire et Nietzsche, à partir de l’exposition des possibles rapprochements entre Zadig et Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra , ayant pour point central l’importance du personnage historique de Zoroastre, ou Zarathoustra, pour les deux penseurs. Mots-clés : Voltaire, Nietzsche, Zoroastre No momento da publicação de Assim falou Zaratustra, Nietzsche se lembrou de Voltaire. Estamos em 26 de agosto de 1883: Nietzsche, nesse dia, envia duas cartas triunfantes aos seus amigos Köselitz e Overbeck. Ele escreve ao primeiro: “Aqui, meu amigo, por mais ridículo que isso possa soar aos vossos ouvidos 1, eu ouvi pela primeira vez do exterior o que eu ouvi de vossa parte e sei há muito tempo: eu sou um dos mais terríveis adversários do cristianismo e eu descobri uma forma de ataque de que Voltaire mesmo não tinha nenhuma ideia” 2. Ao segundo, ele faz saber dessa mesma aprovação : * O texto a seguir é, com o mesmo título, o capítulo VII do livro Nietzsche et Voltaire , do mesmo autor, publicado pela Flammarion em Paris em 2011. Nesta mesma edição da Revista Trágica encontra-se disponível uma resenha sobre o referido livro.
