In this present article the importance here is to rediscover, for us, the person of Voltaire since we tend to study the image of Amir Timour and the Timurids, created on his part and also resulting from the socio-political context of the time when the author lives only his own desires. Expectations and perception. Of all the philosophers of the Enlightenment, there is one who marked his time and remains a reference until today: Voltaire. Voltaire is undoubtedly the first committed philosopher, witness and actor of his time. Philosopher, playwright, poet, historian and outstanding polemicist, the man embodies the “French spirit” of the time, Voltaire, whose real name is François-Marie Arouet, was born on November 21, 1694, in Paris. He is the last son of a bourgeois Parisian notary François Arouet and a noble mother Marie Catherine Daumart de Mauléon. The young boy, destined by his father to make a career in the judiciary, however dreaming of poetry and theatre, at the age of ten, went to the Jesuit college Louis-le-Grand and made brilliant studies in rhetoric and philosophy. He is destined for a literary career, against the will of his father who thinks he will not be able to live from his writings.
