A Rebel From Start To Finish (16941778), Voltaire Was An Ailing And Unwanted Bastard Child Who Refused To Die; And When He Did Consent To Expire Some Eightyfour Years Later, He Secured A Christian Burial Despite A Bishop'S Ban.During Much Of His Life Voltaire Was The Toast Of Society For His Plays And Verse, But His Barbed Wit And Commitment To Human Reason Got Him Into Trouble. Jailed Twice And Eventually Banished By The King, He Was An Outspoken Critic Of Religious Intolerance And Persecution. His Personal Life Was As Colorful As His Intellectual Life. Of Independent Means And Mind, Voltaire Never Married, But He Had Longterm Affairs With Two Women: Emilie, Who Died After Giving Birth To The Child Of Another Lover, And His Niece, Marielouise, With Whom He Spent The Last Twentyfive Years Of His Life.
