Following his traumatic departure from the court of Frederick the
Great, Voltaire wrote "L'Orphelin de la Chine", a play later
identified as a turning point in French theatre from the point of
view of costume and set design. As he settled in Switzerland, he
composed the "Epitre de l'auteur, en arrivant dans sa terre pres du
lac de Geneve". Yet he remained alert to goings-on in the outside
world: in Italy, with the "Examen du Testament politique du
cardinal Alberoni", in Portugal, with the "Poeme sur le desastre de
Lisbonne", which grapples with the problem of human suffering and
foreshadows "Candide", and in Austria and Hungary, with some
shorter poems.
