Summary "Voltaire" by Georg Brandes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work serves as an exploration of the life and impact of the French Enlightenment writer and philosopher Voltaire, examining his significance in literature, culture, and society during his time. It highlights Voltaire's contributions, his conflicts with authority, and his literary prowess, positioning him as a leading figure in 18th-century thought. The opening of the work emphasizes Voltaire's unique place in the literary canon, suggesting that he stands among only a few authors who have transcended national boundaries to influence world history. It portrays Voltaire as a figure of brilliance and vigor, likening him to historical giants like Cicero, while also acknowledging the controversies he stirred during his lifetime. The text presents an early view of Voltaire's legacy as one that represents not just a personal journey, but also a cultural milestone that laid the groundwork for modern thought, advocating for reason and human rights amidst an oppressive societal framework.
