Candide (Dover Thrift Editions)

by Voltaire

Candide (Dover Thrift Editions) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Witty and caustic, Candide has ranked as one of the world's great satires since its first publication in 1759. In the story of the trials and travails of the youthful Candide, his mentor Dr. Pangloss, and a host of other characters, Voltaire mercilessly satirizes and exposes romance, science, philosophy, religion, and government.

Synopsis:

One of the world's great satires since first publication in 1759. Witty, caustic skewering of romance, science, philosophy, religion, government — nearly all human ideals and institutions.
