Download or read book Candide Zadig and Selected Stories written by Voltaire and published by Signet Classics. This book was released on 1961-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voltaire, France's most distinguished man of letters, derided the bureaucracies of his day with savage contempt and entertained readers, creating exotic panoramas in his satirical stories, sixteen of which are presented in this volume. This indispensable collection features the author's masterpiece, Candide. Candide parodies the classic, romantic coming-of-age story, with the naïve, ever-optimistic title character confronting the evils of the real world. His forbidden love of a baron's daughter causes Candide to be evicted from his home and sheltered life into a desolate 16th-century Europe--where the strong prey on the weak and misery abounds in the heart of humanity. With Candide and the other stories in this collection, the master of social commentary dissects science and spiritual faith, ethics and legal systems, love and human vanity.

Download or read book Candide written by Voltaire and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 1984-04-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 distringuished 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.
