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

‎Arouet De Voltaire Francois Marie‎

‎The History of Charles XII King of Sweden‎

‎New York: Barnes & Noble Books 1993. 279 Pages. Beautiful brand new condition book with blue boards and black quarter-spine with silver lettering to the spine. Dust jacket is also as new. Interior text pages are near flawless. "If some prince and some minister find some disagreeable truths in this work let them remember that being public men they owe the public an account of their actions; that it is at this price they purchase their greatness; that history is a witness not a flatterer; and that the only way to oblige men to speak well of us is to act well." - Voltaire. Although Sweden has generally been outside the main currents of European history the figure of Charles XII of Sweden also known as the "Hero King" lit up the European sky like a meteor and seemed to disappear just as quickly. He became King of Sweden in 1697 when he was not quite fifteen and soon found himself confronted with a threatening alliance of Russia Denmark and Poland. When war broke out in 1699 the young king led an army of five thousand Swedes into Denmark was in the first line of troops and sword in hand encouraged his men by his example. The Danes retreated and Denmark was forced to withdraw from the alliance. Charles then led his army into and defeated Peter the Great at Narva. He then conquered Poland and forced the abdication of their king. Although later reverses undid some of his early success his military genius and extraordinary bravery in battle made him a legend even before his untimely death in 1718. This holds a unique position in biography. It has become according to R.M. Hatton a legend in its own right so deeply etched on the European historical consciousness that it is virtually indelible. It is a classic for all time. First Printing. Hard Back. As New/Near Fine. 5 3/4" x 8 3/4". Barnes & Noble Books‎
