In 1753, Voltaire - playwright, poet, philosopher and one of the most fêted figures in Europe - was forced into exile by King Louis XV, where he would remain for the last 25 years of his life. These years heralded a startling new beginning and he began to develop astonishingly modern ideas of human rights and social equality.
