About this audiobook

“A princesa de Babilôniaz” é uma novela de leitura agradável, além de extremamente instrutiva. Voltaire apresenta, concomitantemente: amor ingênuo e puro, amor carnal, fidelidade e traição, amizade, ódio, vingança, inveja, prazer e dor, guerras, mortes, ressurreição, afeição e respeito pelos animais.

O jovem herói Amazam se apaixona por Formosante, a princesa da Babilônia. Julgando-se traído resolve correr o mundo e Formosante sai em busca dele para desfazer o equívoco e comprovar sua fidelidade. É o recurso que Voltaire emprega para descrever os costumes e instituições de inúmeras nações e culturas da antigüidade e, como sempre, criticá-las com ironia e acidez.

O autor, nesta obra, é um pouco parcimonioso em sua s irreverências, mas não deixa de ser cáustico algumas vezes. Sobre as batalhas, tão freqüentes na antigüidade com o hoje, Voltaire é incisivo: os homens que comem carne e tomam beberagens fortes têm todos um sangue azedo e adusto, que os torna loucos de mil maneiras diferentes.

Voltaire

Born in Paris in 1694, François-Marie Arouet, who would later go by the nom-de-plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment philosopher, poet, historian, and author. Voltaire’s writing was often controversial, and in 1715 he was sent into his first exile in Tulle after a writing a satirical piece about the Duke of Orleans, the Regent of France. It was during this time that he produced his first major work, the play Oedipus. Although allowed to return to Paris a year later, Voltaire’s writing continued to land him in trouble. He was jailed in the Bastille two more times and was exiled from Paris for a good portion of his life. Throughout these troubles, Voltaire continued to write, producing works of poetry, a number of plays, and some historical and political texts. His most famous work is the satirical novel Candide, and many of his plays, including Oedipus and Socrates, are still performed today. Voltaire died in 1778.
