following some of the biblical instructions. By doing so, he devotes himself to God. As for the subplot, the story of the martyr, young Juan, told by a mother to her children serves as a support for the main one.

Galilei, Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Newton, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, and Voltaire are all people you have probably heard of before; but did you know that they all have affected the way you live right now. Authors, philosophers, scientists, and martyrs from the Enlightenment still make an impact on your life hundreds of years after their dead. How you might ask.
