"La Vie de Monsieur Jean-Baptiste Rousseau", redigee au printemps 1738 mais dont la virulence excluait la publication, est la biographie tendancieuse d'un ennemi jure. L'un des multiples chefs d'accusation contre Rousseau etait son arrivisme. Voltaire traite du meme theme a la fin de l'annee sur un registre bien plus gai: la comedie des "Originaux", dans laquelle un soi-disant aristocrate est entoure de personnages tous plus excentriques les uns que les autres, s'inspire du theatre de la Restauration anglaise pour neutraliser la vogue de la comedie sentimentale. "Sur Messieurs Jean Law, Melon, et Dutot" revele l'interet de Voltaire pour l'economie. Rendant compte des ecrits de Melon, autrefois secretaire du celebre financier Law, et de ceux de Dutot, employe de la Compagnie des Indes, Voltaire note d'un ton approbateur que 'jamais les belles-lettres n'ont ete si liees avec la finance'. "De la gloire, ou entretien avec un Chinois", ou figure un Chinois negociant et lettre, reitere que la litterature et les affaires sont 'deux choses qui ne devraient point du tout etre incompatibles', et emploie le regard de l'etranger pour remettre en question la conception euro-centrique de l'histoire et de la religion.

At the beginning of 1736, Voltaire was at the height of his success, receiving praise from the public and fellow-poets alike. The breathtaking breadth of Voltaire's activity this year ranges from comedy, "L'Enfant Prodigue", and a major philosophical poem, "Le Mondain", to public and private verse, including one of his most arresting satires in "Le Crepinade", aimed at Jean-Baptiste Rousseau. Voltaire relished the diversity of his literary output, as he did the stimulation of his burgeoning scientific interests and lively correspondence. However, despite the popular acclaim, literary quarrels and lawsuits caused continuous tension, forcing Voltaire by the end of the year, to flee France and the 'persecution' his fame had brought him.
