Описание:
Young Candide is ejected from his idyllic life in a protected castle and finds himself encountering wild adventures and harsh trials that put to the test his teacher's claim that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
Honest and simple to a fault, Candide finds that a bit of romance leads only to exile and sudden immersion in a larger and more frightening world. Armed with the optimistic teachings of his mentor Pangloss, he is soon astounded to be arrested, beaten and forced into military service. The author doesn't spare his hero, hurling him into a shipwreck, an earthquake, a tidal wave and a city-wide wildfire in short order. Pursuing his true love and reunited with Pangloss, who interprets each new setback, no matter how horrific, as another sign that everything happens for the best, Candide refuses to abandon hope but begins to question his teacher's bottomless optimism. An outrageous picaresque quest full of barbed observations about human behavior and belief, politics and institutions, Candide was condemned for the fiercely irreverent stance it delicately conceals beneath its hero's guileless nature and chain of extravagant adventures. Triumphing over censorship, the book has had profound influence on philosophy and politics since its first appearance in 1759, but remains a classic that can be read for pure pleasure.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Candide is both modern and readable.

Описание: Après une étape sur Saturne où il se fait un compagnon de voyage, philosophe comme lui, Micromégas, habitant de Sirius, vient visiter la terre des hommes, "notre petite fourmilière": occasion de péripéties nombreuses et de dialogues variés. Puis, à la fin du livre, les deux personnages reprennent leur voyage, on ne sait vers quelle destination. Le lecteur ne les accompagne plus.Il demeure aux côtés des Terriens, ses semblables.Si l'étrangeté dont joue Voltaire dans ce conte qu'il publie en 1752 est d'abord celle des deux voyageurs, des autres mondes habités et du voyage interstellaire, c'est bien ensuite celle des Terriens qu'il met en scène: étrangeté physique, puis intellectuelle et philosophique. Le livre ainsi nous invite à changer de rôle, à philosopher nous aussi, non sur des créatures imaginaires, mais au contraire sur l'Homme. A l'évidence, Voltaire s'amuse. Son rire pourtant n'est pas gratuit: Micromégas est une histoire philosophique, une magniÞque leçon de "gai savoir".

Описание: Inspired by Voltaire's two-year stay in England (1726-8), this is one of the key works of the Enlightment. Exactly contemporary with Gulliver's Travels and The
Beggar's Opera, Voltaire's controversial pronouncements on politics, philosophy, religion, and literature have place the Letters among the great Augustan satires. Voltaire wrote most of
the book in English, in which he was fluent and witty, and it fast became a bestseller in Britain.
He re-wrote it in French as the Lettres philosophiques, and current editions in
English translate his French. This edition restores for the modern reader Voltaire's own English text, allowing us to appreciate him as a stylist at first hand. It is the only critical edition of
the original text and, as well as providing an introduction and notes, it includes intriguing accounts of Voltaire by contemporary English ovservers.
