Description

Playwright ("the only future of the theater"), journalist (the Mercury), grammarian, storyteller and philosopher, Marmontel, emulator of his friend Voltaire, was an apostle of tolerance and freedom. His Belief provoked a scandal. The indignant Sorbonne that one could believe the useless fires condemned a work that was also praised by all enlightened Europe. It was his moral tales that earned him his greatest fame. Adulated like Voltaire, his Neuvaine of Kythera, the most beautiful erotic poem of the century, could not be published during his lifetime: censorship watched.--Fabula.
