Voltaire
François-Marie Arouet, otherwise known as Voltaire lived mostly during pre-revolutionary France (21 November 1694- 30 May 1778).
He wrote some pretty amazing stuff. My human loves his book called Zadig written in 1747 which he tells me is very clever.
Hmmm... I am still waiting for him to finish reading out loud to me, Homer's Iliad. I may request Zadig next. Come to think of it, he forgot to read out loud to me the third book in the Jasper Fforde 'Thursday Next' series, The Well of Lost Plots. But I digress.
You can read more about Voltaire in Wikipedia.
There is also a brilliant article on Voltaire in the current edition of The New Yorker called Voltaire's Garden by Adam Gopnik.
Voltaire is also the name of one of my feline friends in Texas.
........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
Today was warm. I seem to be getting more sedentary in my old age. Maybe it is the hot weather. Back to chicken wings. I knew the veal was too good to last.
