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 ..."






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 and Other Stories

Paperback, 352 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 2006 von Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280726-7, ISBN: 0-19-280726-9

"'If this is the best of all possible worlds, then what must the others be like?' 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. There are no grounds for his daft theory of Optimism. Yet life goes on. We must cultivate our garden, ..."

Paperback, 384 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1998 von Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-283426-3, ISBN: 0-19-283426-6

"'If this is the best of all possible worlds, then what must the others be like?' "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 ..."






The Fables of Reason(1st Edition)

Hardcover, 280 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1993 von Clarendon Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-815880-6, ISBN: 0-19-815880-7

"Almost three hundred years after his birth in 1694, this is the first comprehensive study of Voltaire's contes philosophiques - the philosophical tales for which he is now best remembered and which include the masterpiece Candide. The Fables of Reason situates each of the twenty-six stories in its historical and intellectual context and offers new readings and approaches in the light of modern critical thinking. It rejects the traditio ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-58234-630-4, ISBN: 1-58234-630-5

"With its tales of illegitimacy, prison, stardom, exile, love affairs, and tireless battles against his critics, priests and king, Roger Pearson’s Voltaire Almighty brings the father of Enlightenment to vivid life. Voltaire Almighty provides a lively look at the life and thought of one of the major forces behind European Enlightenment. A rebel from start to finish (1694-1778), Voltaire was an ailing and unwanted bastard child who refu ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7475-7495-8, ISBN: 0-7475-7495-2

"Voltaire Almighty provides a lively look at the life and thought of one of the major forces behind the European Enlightenment. A rebel from start to finish (1694 - 1778), Voltaire was an ailing and unwanted bastard child who refused to die; and when he did consent to expire some eighty-four years later, he secured a Christian burial despite a bishop's ban. During much of his life Voltaire was the toast of society for his plays and verse ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7475-7957-1, ISBN: 0-7475-7957-1

"During much of his life Voltaire's plays and verse made him the toast of society, but his barbed wit and commitment to reason also got him into trouble. 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 ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-19-281730-3, ISBN: 0-19-281730-2

"Candide, the wittiest and best-loved book of a genius who is still unequaled in his ability to spin art out of philosophy, became a huge bestseller in Europe after it was published in 1759. 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 ..."
