Description
Candide, a brilliant satire by Voltaire, remains as relevant today as it was when first published in Paris in 1759. This relentless and unsparing tale follows the misfortunes of young Candide, his love Cunégonde, and his mentor Dr. Pangloss, offering a witty burlesque of human excess.
A unique dual-language edition allows readers to follow every nuance of Voltaire's story in both English and French on facing pages. Shane Weller's critical introduction provides valuable insight into the satire of Candide and its enduring appeal.
