nové vydání klasické anglické četby If this is the best of all possible worlds, then what must the others be like?'
Young
Candide is tossed on a hilarious tide of misfortune, experiencing the
full horror and injustice of this 'best of all possible worlds' - the
Old and the New - before finally accepting that his old philosophy
tutor Dr Pangloss has got it all wrong. There are no grounds for his
daft theory of Optimism. Yet life goes on. We must cultivate our
garden, for there is certainly room for improvement.
Candide
is the most famous of Voltaire's 'philosophical tales', in which he
combined witty improbabilities with the
sanest of good sense. First published in 1759, it was an instant
bestseller and has come to be regarded as one of the key texts of the
Enlightenment. What Candide does for chivalric romance, the other tales in this selection - Micromegas, Zadig, The Ingenu, and The White Bull
- do for science fiction, the Oriental tale, the sentimental novel, and
the Old Testament. This new edition also includes a verse tale based on
Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale, in which we discover that most elusive of secrets: What Pleases the Ladies.
