Linked together, the names of Voltaire and Jean Calas are a milestone in the history of modern Europe. The Calas affair was not just a terrible miscarriage of justice but also a major achievement in the career of Voltaire. In the eyes of Europe this obscure misdeed made the philosopher of Ferney, who dared to risk his own prestige and freedom, the symbol of justice and of the new ideas that heralded 1789
