Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Voltaire François Marie Arouet, who, in his twenty-fifth year, called himself Voltaire, was born in Paris, November 21, 1694. He came into the world so sickly an infant that for months he was not expected to survive, and though he lived to be eighty-three, he suffered much from ill health throughout his prolonged existence. His only surviving brother, Armand, was by ten years, and his only sister, Marguerite, by nine years, his senior. His father, François Arouet, sprang from a reputable middle-class family of Poitou, whence his grandfather had migrated to Paris, and became a thriving clothier. François Arouet, a man of recognized ability and integrity, belonged for many years to the highest class of Paris notaries, and prospered in a calling the exercise of which included the performance of some of the more important functions of the modern English family solicitor.
