The heroes of Voltaire"s stories appear from outside, and their freshness of perception is especially vividly emphasized by the unsightness of reality.
In this reality, the priests take up arms for a cadent for dissuading his widows to burn himself on the corpses of her husbands. A simple -minded does not understand why for marriage with a loved one needs the consent of the Pope, who lives in another country and speaks someone else"s language, and why the actions of a religious people diverge from the Bible. The giant of the micromegas is asked not to bother the destruction of the Earth, since people themselves cope with this, and the optimist Candide is faced with cruelty and violence as a natural state of the world.
Voltaire was not a revolutionary, but the mind and talent forced him to accurately grope at the "pain points" of society. His stories, created in the second half of the 18th century, are now in many ways to read as if they were written yesterday
