Sinossi
Con "Candido" pubblicato simultaneamente nel 1759 a Parigi, Londra e Amsterdam, Voltaire portava a perfezione il nuovo genere letterario da lui creato, quel 'conte philosophique' la cui caratteristica essenziale risiede nella tensione dialettica tra allusione ideologica e illusione narrativa. Le convulse e mirabolanti avventure di Candido offrono alla scintillante, ironica e incisiva penna di Voltaire l'opportunità di dimostrare la vanità dell'ottimismo razionalista leibniziano e della teoria del migliore dei mondi possibili. E il lettore di ieri, come quello di oggi, preso dal frenetico ritmo narrativo cede all'incantesimo e si rende partecipe del sottile e intelligente gioco con il quale la consumata maestria dell'"ultimo degli scrittori felici" (Barthes) lo induce a passare velocemente dall'arbitrio narrativo alla meditazione filosofica. Introduzione di Giuseppe Galasso.

Have you ever listened to someone who was so dead set in their ideals, but when you actually heard their logic for their ideals that it made absolutely no sense? That is this book. Candide Leggi tutto
Re-read for my Open University studies, 2023. Voltaire's novel introduces the reader to Candide, a wide-eyed, calm and slightly bland young gentleman who resides at Castle Westphalia and who believes in the philosophy that "everything in the world is for the best." One of the first scenes is filled
Slightly disappointed with the next-Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I took on this classic next IN ONE SITTING. &... WOW! Where has this one been all my life? I adore "Candide" because it is rife with adventure, it is a speedy read, and at the very end you experience a vortex of feelings and NOVEL concepts. It Leggi tutto
All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds… And following this sententious wisdom Candide embarks on the quest of his life. Never was anything so gallant, so well accoutred, so brilliant, and so finely disposed as the two armies. The trumpets, fifes, hautboys, drums, and cannon made such h Leggi tutto
"Candide" is an accessible masterpiece which demonstrated to the world Volatire's genius as a satirist. The eponymous Candide is a young man tutored by an optimist who is convinced according to the cause and effect philosophy of Leibniz and perhaps is best summarized in Voltaire's leitmotif that hum Leggi tutto
