Voltaire

19335.7 / 1072 min
History, Drama

Overview

Beautiful women were pawns in the dangerous game he played with kings and nations!

Writer and philosopher Voltaire, loyal to his king, Louis XV of France, nonetheless writes scathingly of the king's disdain for the rights and needs of his people. Louis admires Voltaire, but is increasingly influenced against him by his minister, the Count de Sarnac.
