Did Voltaire lie about his true origins? What were his struggles? How did he become the most famous man in Europe? Did he write his works out of pride? What were his relationships with the nobility? And even more so with kings? Was he primarily a man of money? What did Jean-Jacques Rousseau think of him? Can we say he was a republican... or is that a myth? Was he really an atheist? What are the controversies about him worth? In what sense was he a philosopher?
