réf. 16958Voltaire. Candide. Franklin Library. Pennsylvania: Franklin Library 1979. 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. 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
