Candide (or Optimism) by Voltaire - Heritage Press - Color Illustrations

Description: Candide (or Optimism) by Voltaire Summary: Candide begins in the German town of Westphalia, where Candide, a young man, lives in the castle of Baron of Thunder-ten-tronckh. A noted philosopher, Doctor Pangloss, tutors the baron on philosophical optimism, the idea that "all is for the best . . . in this best of all worlds." Candide, a simple man, first accepts this philosophy, but as he experiences the horrors of war, poverty, the maliciousness of man, and the hypocrisy of the church, he begins to doubt the voracity of Pangloss's theory. Thus, philosophical optimism is the focus of Votaire's satire; anti-war and anti-church refrains also run throughout the novel. (CliffsNotes) Color Illustrations. Includes protective slipcase. Conditing is very good, but not perfect. Slight evidence of impact at one corner of cover & minor discoloration of sides due to age. Vintage estimate: early 1960s. (Oddly, this book does not show a publication date.) Pages: 131. Size: 10.75" x 6.625" Weight: 28 ounces. Includes Heritage Press "Sandglass" story summary and historical background. All photos are my own and of the actual item on offer. No stock photos. No retouching. Also, except for the CliffsNotes plot summary, all descriptions are my own, no AI-generated words.
