Candide, Voltaires magnum opus, is a matchless satirical take-down of religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers. The novella unfolds as the sheltered and privileged Candide, a young man enraptured of his facile mentor Pangloss, experiences the hardships and injustices of life, forcing him to abandon the naïve notion that all is for the best in favor of a practical determination that life is best lived cultivating ones garden. Considered by many to be one of the greatest achievements of Western literature, Candide has influenced modern writers of black humor such as Céline, Joseph Heller, John Barth, Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, and Terry Southern. This Warbler Classics edition includes notes, a glossary, and a detailed biographical timeline of Voltaires life and work.Book specifications:Dimensions: 203 x 133Author: VoltaireCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 1Pages: 146Language: EnglishPublisher: Warbler ClassicsWeight: 172 g
