‎Candide; or The Optimist The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written‎

‎The Easton Press 1977. Full-Leather. Near Fine/No Jacket. Sauvage Sylvain. 1977 Full-Leather. We have more books available by this author!. xix 1 131 7 pp. Tall 8vo. Dark grey full leather gilt titles and decorations all edges gilt silk moire endpapers ribbon marker bound in. Translated from the French by Richard Aldington with an introduction by Paul Morand. Color frontispiece and color and black-and-white illustrations by Sylvain Sauvage. 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 outrageous the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best. Alive with wit brilliance and graceful storytelling Candide has become Voltaire's most celebrated work. "Candide is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. The novella has been widely translated with English versions titled Candide: or All for the Best 1759; Candide: or The Optimist 1762; and Candide: or Optimism 1947. It begins with a young man Candide who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism or simply "optimism" by his mentor Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle followed by Candide's slow painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide if not rejecting optimism outright advocating a deeply practical precept "we must cultivate our garden" in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious bildungsroman it parodies many adventure and romance clichés the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still the events discussed are often based on historical happenings such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil so too does Candide in this short novel albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion theologians governments armies philosophies and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.As expected by Voltaire Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature. Martin Seymour-Smith has listed Candide as one of The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written. The Easton Press hardcover‎
