Description
Candide and Related Texts by Voltaire is a satirical masterpiece that offers a unique perspective on Enlightenment thought. This lively new translation is accompanied by a selection of writings from prominent optimists, including Leibniz, Bolingbroke, Shaftesbury, Pope, Wolff, Rousseau, and Malebranche.
By examining the intellectual context in which Candide was written, this edition provides a more nuanced understanding of Voltaire's work and its place within the broader Enlightenment movement. The result is a richer and more complex reading experience that sheds new light on one of literature's most enduring satires.
