  | | Candide and Other Stories(1st Edition) (Oxford World's Classics) von Roger Pearson Voltaire, Roger Voltaire/ Pearson, Francois Voltaire Paperback, 352 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 2008 von Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-953561-3, ISBN: 0-19-953561-2 "Political satire doesn't age well, but occasionally a diatribe contains enough art and universal mirth to survive long after its timeliness has passed. Candide is such a book. Penned by that Renaissance man of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, Candide is steeped in the political and philosophical controversies of the 1750s. But for the general reader, the novel's driving principle is clear enough: the idea (endemic in Voltaire's day) that we ..." |

"Candide", published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant bestseller and is now regarded by many as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. A master story-teller, Voltaire found the philosophical tale the perfect vehicle for his preoccupations with evil, human folly, and intolerance. He combined often wildly entertaining ac ..." |

Young Candide is tossed on a hilarious tide of misfortune, experiencing the full horror and injustice of this 'best of all possible worlds' - the Old and the New - before finally accepting that his old philosophy tutor Dr Pangloss has got it all wrong.

 | | 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 ..." |

Voltaire, skeptical of the systems of philosophy that were floated about to explain the workings of the world, used this satirical story about the optimist Candide and his friend Dr. Pangloss to interrogate and discredit the philosophies and approach ..." |
