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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 naivete. 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. This edition includes other Romances by Voltaire: The World As It Goes or The Vision of Babouc, Cosi-Sancta: A Little Ill for a Great Good, Memnon or Human Wisdom, Bababec and the Fakirs, The History of the Travels of Scarmentado, Jeannot and Colin, Lord Chesterfield's Ears: A True Story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Candide: And Other Romances Several letters in late November and early December contain similar remarks, almost invariably with a remark to the effect that the doctrines of All is for the best and Optimism are disproved. As Voltaire saw the situation, a very pretty quarrel in philosophy and theology was involved. Of course, in such important subjects an earthquake is the merest argumentum ad hominem, easily brushed aside as irrelevant, especially when the philoso pher or the theologian is not personally affected. But Voltaire was never above accepting an argumenmm ad bominem of this respectable force and in most of his ethical and quasi-philosophical skirmishes he liked to make theories in which the appearances seemed to be saved. He had certainly expressed very strong opposi tion to the theory of Optimism before the Lisbon earth quake,1 but that calamity seemed to him a striking refutation of the theory and he determined to exploit it. The immediate result was the poem, Le Desastre dc Lisbon, published with a preface and elaborate notes in 1756.
