Jean-François Marmontel

Ce roman historique et philosophique publi en 1777 par Jean-Fran ois Marmontel trouve son inspiration dans les crits de Bartolom de Las Casas, l'homme de la Controverse de Valladolid. Cet ouvrage de fiction, bas sur des faits historiques, relate les moeurs des natifs Indiens, les diff rentes positions politiques et philosophiques des grands conquistadors, les oppositions sanglantes de ces peuples et met l'honneur certains personnages m diateurs qui tissent des liens d'humanit entre les deux communaut s. L'historiographe Marmontel met en sc ne des personnages attachants m lant romance et v nements r els pour souligner la trag die que fut la conqu te des Indes par le royaume d'Espagne. Il est ici question d'amiti , de trahison, de jalousie, de fid lit et m me d'histoires d'amour, mais avant tout c'est une histoire d'hommes. Ce parti pris permet au lecteur de mieux appr hender la grande histoire de la conqu te am ricaine. Son r cit d nonce l'esclavage, la soif de l'or, les cruaut s humaines mais surtout il constitue une critique clair e du fanatisme religieux, fl au de l'humanit , un th me qui reste d'actualit . Cette dition moderne et compl te (Tome I - Tome II) a fait l'objet d'un travail de r vision et de correction. La mise en page a t galement repens e afin d'en faciliter la lecture.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
