"The Satirical Scourge of 1759 - Now in Paperback!" Cover illustrations by Chris Ware. Translated by Theo Cuffe. Introduction by Michael Wood. Extensive Appendices & Notes. "With its vibrant new translation, perceptive introduction, and witty packaging, this new edition of Voltaire's masterpiece belongs in the hands of every reader pondering our assumptions about human behavior and our place in the world. CANDIDE tells of the hilarious adventures of the naïve Candide, who doggedly believes that 'all is for the best' even when faced with injustice, suffering, and despair. Controversial and entertaining, CANDIDE is a book that is vitally relevant today in our world pervaded by--as Candide would say--'the mania for insisting that all is well when all is by no means well.'" [publisher copy] "I adore the prose of Voltaire. I have read CANDIDE twenty times and still I reread it."--Gustave Flaubert. "The prince of philosophical novels, CANDIDE distills the sparkling spirit of Voltaire and the Enlightenment."--John Updike. Gold-stamped cover w/French flaps & Chris Ware's neoclassic illustration panels/commentary. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, no age toning on pages, all quite presentable & giftable.
