Summaries

Drama series that explores Voltaire's early life and evolution. It reveals aspects of the gifted philosopher's life that received less attention: Voltaire the adventurer, lover, man of justice who had an obscure relationship with royalty.

Explore the early life and evolution of the philosopher and visionary Voltaire, from his love stories, his father's issues to the discovery of his vocation, his commitments against religious fanaticism and the arbitrary misuse of justice and politics. Explore a life of pain, passion, and the growth of an epic and talented hero, the origins of the young François Arouet, his childhood suffering, his entourage, his talent, his years of imprisonment in the Bastille, his ambiguous relations with the French court or his return in France after his exile.—Happy_Evil_Dude
