A biting satire of the Age of Enlightenment, Voltaire's classic tale Candide, or the Optimist remains a bestseller over two centuries after its initial publication.
Young nobleman Candide lives a sheltered life under the tutelage of the ridiculous Dr Pangloss, who espouses the prevailing 18th-century philosophy of Optimism. After an indiscretion, Candide is cast out into a world that Pangloss claims is ‘the best of all possible worlds’. However, Candide and his companions encounter nothing but ludicrous calamities in their madcap travels - war crimes, earthquakes, inquisitions, and chain gangs – all based with horrible closeness on real events of the 18th century.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, this stunning clothbound edition of Candide, or the Optimist features gold-foiled edges, a ribbon marker, and an introduction by Dr Marine Ganofsky. A perfect gift for any book lover, this unabridged French classic showcases Voltaire's scathing wit and satirical mastery as he skewers the fashionable philosophies of his day and lampoons the political realities of the Seven Years' War and the Lisbon earthquake. A timeless commentary on human folly, Candide remains a treasured work of the Enlightenment era.

ກ່ຽວກັບຜູ້ຂຽນ
Imprisoned in the Bastille at the age of twenty-three for a criminal libel against the Regent of France, François-Marie Arouet was freed in 1718 with a new name, Voltaire, and the completed manuscript of his first play, Oedipe, which became a huge hit on the Paris stage in the same year. For the rest of his long and dangerously eventful life, this cadaverous genius shone with uninterrupted brilliance as one of the most famous men in the world. Revered, and occasionally reviled, in the royal courts of Europe, his literary outpourings and fearless campaigning against the medieval injustices of church and state in the midst of the ‘Enlightenment’ did much to trigger the French Revolution and to formulate the present notions of democracy. But above all, Voltaire was an observer of the human condition, and his masterpiece Candide stands out as an astonishing testament to his unequalled insight into the way we were and probably always will be.
