Candide

Autor Voltaire Introducere de Sarah E. Holroyd
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The French author known as Voltaire was born in 1694 to a noble family in the province of Poitou. Voltaire was a writer of the Enlightenment movement and was well known in his own time for his attacks on the Catholic Church and for advocating freedom of religion and expression and the separation of church and state. "Candide" is widely regarded as his masterpiece, and is taught perhaps more often then any other piece of French literature. Published in 1759, it was widely banned immediately after its secretive publication because it contained blasphemy and seditious themes.
This bilingual edition is designed to assist those learning French. The English text appears on the left-hand pages of the book, with the corresponding French on the right-hand pages.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
"Candide" is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distringuished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, "Candide" has become Voltaire's most celebrated work.

Caracteristici

Candide by Voltaire (1759) is one of the most seminal books ever written and a prime early example of black humour driving a narrative.

Recenzii

Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation
There are few stage authors writing more interestingly than Mark Ravenhill . . . He is . . . a searing, intelligent, disturbing sociologist with a talent for satirical dialogue and a flair for sexual sensationalism.
An extraordinary piece, one that bulges with bright ideas
... fiendishly clever and full of ideas.
Mark Ravenhill's imaginative, fitfully entertaining 'response' to Candide for the Royal Shakespeare Company is a picaresque, playful, and provocative piece ... Staged with terrific panache and colour by Lyndsey Turner ...
