Lecture - "Authors Satisfy our Deep Aspiration for Justice"
Throughout history, many authors have joined the fight for justice. Voltaire, Balzac, Victor Hugo, Zola, and Mauriac all devoted their energies to defending the innocent. But more widely, writers' stories satisfy another human aspiration: the desire for a more just world. Maupassant, Balzac, and Tolstoy sought to defend natural law, the law to which individuals aspire, against the social law imposed by the ukases.
