 | | Candide and Other Stories (Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics) von Roger Pearson, Roger Voltaire/ Pearson, Francois M. Voltaire Hardcover, 376 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1992 von Everyman's Library ISBN-13: 978-0-679-41746-0, ISBN: 0-679-41746-X " Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageo ..." |

Jailed twice and eventually banished by the King, he was an outspoken critic of religious intolerance and persecution. His personal life was as colourful as his intellectual one. Voltaire never married, but had long-term affairs with two women: Emilie, who died after giving birth to the ..." |

Is it an anachronism in the mass higher education system of the twenty-first century? Is the traditional tutoring of Oxford’s undergraduates now too labour intensive and too expensive a burden for the University and its ..." |
