Covers Accented in Gilt motifs. Printed on archival paper with gilded edges with silk ribbon page marker and decorated endsheets. Translation of Tobias Smollet This version also includes many with illustrations of Antoni Clave. Candide is a satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. A beautiful book in pristine condition.<br /> <br /> Candide is living a sheltered life with his mentor Professor Pangloss who's mantra is "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds" but as the fantastical and fast-moving plot continues Candide slowly and painfully is disillusioned as he witnesses and experiences great hardships. Voltaire concludes Candide with a practical precept "we must cultivate our garden" in lieu of the "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds". Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication the book was widely banned to the public because it contained religious blasphemy political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. Today Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon. unknown

Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A poem by Voltaire about the devastating earthquake that struck Lisbon on Nov. 1st 1755. A passionate report of the Lisbon earthquake written wonderfully. We can see here the influence of this earthquake on the thought of Voltaire and the Enlightenment. This reality is evident in this work of Voltaire. Here he brilliantly exposes how this brutal catastrophe made him question the existence of a good and omnipotent God and he reflects on human existence in a world without God. Regardless of whether we agree or not with these considerations everyone will be able to appreciate the beauty of this little narrative poem. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . hardcover
