2017réf. BIBHB0086156932017. Hardcover. New. ABOUT THE BOOK: Candide begins in the German town of Westphalia where Candide a young man lives in the castle of Baron of Thunder ten tronckh. A noted philosopher Doctor Pangloss tutors the baron on philosophical optimism. Candide a simple man first accepts this philosophy but as he experiences the horrors of war poverty the maliciousness of man and the hypocrisy of the Church he begins to doubt the voracity of Pangloss�s theory. Thus philosophical optimism is the focus of Voltaire�s Satire; antiwar and antichurch refrains also run throughout the novel. Candide makes his way to a neighbouring town where he is aided by two soldiers. He is pressed into service and endures beating at the hands of his superiors. He was slapped in every direction by fate. In Paris Candide becomes ill and is attended by a variety of people all of whom want a piece of his fortune. He recovers but is tricked by an actress into giving away much of his fortune and is eventually arrested by the police.

Ref: PMM 204. There were 18 editions of Candide in 1759. It took 221 years for a clear and convincing bibliography to first sort them out and then got accepted and once accepted our real 1st edition was confirmed as rare. In the last 15 years however that bibliographical data has been more widely circulated and several 1st editions that weren’t on the original 22–copy census have come into market. It is still scarce more so in a contemporary binding. Candide bides as the epitomic philosophical fable of the French Enlightenment and the genotype of irony without exaggeration and though it’s laced with more salt than the postwar streets of Carthage it repeatedly tolls a reminder that light hearts live long. Most importantly Candide remains remarkably relevant when examined through contemporary frameworks functioning as an incisive proto-postcolonial text that anticipates modern discourse on global inequality systems of oppression and the limitations of Enlightenment rationality. The novel's scathing portrayal of slavery conquest and religious persecution resonates with intersectional analyses that recognize how power structures interlock across racial gender and economic dimensions. The savage irony throughout the text dismantles not just philosophical optimism but also European exceptionalism exposing the hypocrisy of colonial enterprises and religious institutions alike. The narrative's episodic structure—with its global movements between Europe South America and the Ottoman Empire—invites discussions of transnationalism and diasporic experience while Candide's concluding retreat to cultivate his garden has been reinterpreted by ecocritical scholars as both an acknowledgment of environmental interdependence and a potentially problematic withdrawal from systems-level political engagement. “Do you believe” said Candide “that men have always massacred each other as they do to-day that they have always been liars cheats traitors ingrates brigands idiots thieves scoundrels gluttons drunkards misers envious ambitious bloody–minded calumniators debauchees fanatics hypocrites and fools” “Do you believe” said Martin “that hawks have always eaten pigeons when they have found them” –Voltaire Candide.
