‎Pour et contre Voltaire VOLTAIRE (François-Marie Arouet de).‎

‎Oedipe, tragédie par Monsieur de Voltaire.‎

‎A Paris, chez Pierre Ribou, Pierre Huet, Jean Mazuel, Antoine-Urbain Coustelier, 1719. In-8 de (8)-131 pp.12 pièces en un volume in-8, veau granité, dos orné, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque).‎

‎Édition originale du premier livre imprimé de Voltaire.Après une tragédie de collège Amulius et Numitor dont seuls quelques fragments sont conservés, Voltaire avait commencé dès l'âge de dix-huit ans la tragédie d'Oedipe. Acceptée en janvier 1717 (Voltaire a alors 24 ans), la pièce ne fut jouée qu'après un séjour à la Bastille, les comédiens ayant longtemps manifesté de la répugnance à jouer une pièce déjà traitée par Corneille. suivi de son exil à Chatenay au château de la Roseraie, propriété de son père.Représenté le 18 novembre 1718, Oedipe eut un tel succès qu'il eut, fait rare pour l'époque, quarante-cinq représentations consécutives et se maintint longtemps au répertoire. La pièce est suivie de six Lettres écrites par l'auteur, qui contiennent la critique de l'Oedipe de Sophocle, de celui de Corneille & du sien.On a relié à la suite onze pièces critiques de la tragédie de Voltaire contemporaines de sa publication :1.

‎Voltaire CANDIDE‎

‎Voltaire. Candide. Franklin Library. Pennsylvania: Franklin Library First Edition 1979. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A Limited Edition. Original binding. Bound in one quarter premium full leather. Covers Accented in Gilt motifs. Printed on archival paper with gilded edges with silk ribbon page marker and decorated endsheets. Translation of Tobias Smollet This version also includes many with illustrations of Antoni Clave. Candide is a satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. A beautiful book in pristine condition.<br/><br/>Candide is living a sheltered life with his mentor Professor Pangloss who's mantra is "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds" but as the fantastical and fast-moving plot continues Candide slowly and painfully is disillusioned as he witnesses and experiences great hardships. Voltaire concludes Candide with a practical precept "we must cultivate our garden" in lieu of the "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds". Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication the book was widely banned to the public because it contained religious blasphemy political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. Today Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon. unknown books‎

‎Candide Ou L'optimisme Traduit De L'allemand De Mr. Le Docteur Ralph‎

‎Geneva: Gabriel Cramer 1759. First Edition. Full Leather. Fine. The third of the first four editions according to Bengesco 1436 and the fourth edition according to Wade see Voltaire and Candide 1959 p. 201 dated 1759 with 299 pages clandestinely printed and published by Cramer in Geneva and preceeding the other 16 different editions published throughout Europe in 1759. The present copy conforms to Bengesco 1436 in every respect which is "page by page line for line like the first edition" except for the "que ce ce fut" error on page 103 an error which was introduced by Cramer into the early printings then doubtless not "fixed" as it was correct in the first place. Note that the fleurons agree exactly with Bengesco 1436 as follows: p. 134 is a basket of fruits; p. 228 shows two horns 'a plenty; the fleuron at p. 115 is repeated on pages 179 and 193; fleuron on page 213 is signed N. C. and is repeated on page 279; page 277 is paginated 177. The present copy also agrees with Wade see Voltaire and Candide 1959 p. 201 in every respect including that page 17 is numbered 15. Both the above references to Bengesco and Wade show signatures A-N3 meaning they are bound without the Table of Chapters; the present copy like 7 of the 10 known copies of the first edition shows signatures A-N6 without the final leaves N7 a blank and without N8 instructions to the binder concerning the cancellation of two pairs of leaves B4 B9 and D6 D7. In addition to the above let us state the textual points in the present copy: page 31 B4 an unnecessary paragraph break was eliminated. The words "mais il y a une raison." do NOT start a new paragraph; page 41 B9 several short sentences about the Lisbon earthquake were rewritten as "car dit-il tout ceci est."; page 84 D6 D7 reads "Nos filles se trouverent."; page 103 reads "que ce fut." as explained above was correct to begin with then discovered by Cramer and was not "fixed"; page 125 reads "mais ils se leverent precisement."; page 242 the paragraph beginning "Candide etait afflige."; has been removed by Voltaire while the book was being printed as it was critical of German poets. Pages 121 - 168 signatures F and G are a larger type than the rest of the book. In summation the present copy agrees with the first edition except that the "que ce ce fut." error was discovered and not inserted and the fleurons differ but are by Cramer who printed the first four editions. This a wide margined copy is larger than other copies we have seen at 165 mm x 95 mm; beautifully bound in late 19th Century full tan leather with raised bands and gilt decoration on spine with a brown leather lettering piece marbled end papers all edges gilt; printed on laid paper. The text is remarkably clean and bright; a fine copy. PMM204. <br/><br/> Gabriel Cramer hardcover books‎

The first appearance of an early and important prose work by Voltaire a series of epistolary observations comparing British and French society culture science and philosophy.
