French writer Voltaire was originally named Francois? Mary? Fran? ois Mario. Voltaire is a pseudonym. Voltaire was imprisoned twice in his life and immediately exiled after he was released from prison. Voltaire began such a life when he was young. Whether he was arrested or exiled, it was because of his sharp satire on current politics. 1704-1710/year, Voltaire joined an aristocratic group that appreciated him after studying in the Jesuit college Louis-le-Grand. He not only wrote, but also spread many poems criticizing the Duke of Orleans, the regent at that time. Finally, he was taken to the Bastille in 17 17, where Voltaire wrote a long poem about King Henry VIII of France (1553- 16 10). Because the long poem is full of accusations of religious superstition and praises of freedom, the whole work obviously goes against the political situation at that time. Such a manuscript aroused the dissatisfaction of Lohan, the most powerful family in France, so he was put into prison again (also in the Bastille) and exiled in 1726.
Voltaire stayed in London until 1729. After returning to France, Voltaire described his observation of British social and political beliefs and published a letter about Britain. This book once again caused contradictions, and his praise of British liberalism was regarded by the authorities as a criticism of French conservatism. So he was forced to live in seclusion in Lorraine, France, until 1749. The sharp criticism of current politics in Voltaire's works not only brought him trouble, but also won him the honor as a writer. These two things accompanied him all his life. 1750, Voltaire was invited to T Palace to meet FredericktheGreat, King of Prussia. He lived in the palace for two years. 1753, he quarreled with the king whom he called "the king of philosophy" and was forced to leave the palace. Voltaire spent the last 20 years of his life in Switzerland. Before his death, Voltaire went to Paris, France to see his play Irene.
