The great French philosopher, enlightener, writer, historian and publicist Voltaire (1694-1778) is present in today"s reader"s everyday life, primarily by aphorism "All genres are good except boring." He not only formulated this maxim, but also fully justified his work, turning the philosophical novels" Candide and "simple -minded" into absolute bestsellers of his time and Longsellers for all times. Smart and complex is not completely doomed to be boring, it can shine with wit, amaze with paradoxes and be understandable - such is the philosophical and literary credo of Voltaire. "Everyone is more read, / all less languid" (Alexander Pushkin) Surprisingly modern, the life principles of his heroes, suffered by them in a series of adventures and vicissitudes, look like modern ones: Candide is convinced of the need for each person to “cultivate his garden ", but the simple -minded calls to change our imperfect world not with loud declarations and calls, but by personal action
