{"product_id":"candide","title":"Candide","description":"A new, beautifully laid-out, easy-to-read edition of Voltaire's Candide.\n\nCandide is Voltaire's 1759 satirical masterpiece, wreaking havoc on the excesses of 18th century French Enlightenment culture. The story begins with our protagonist Candide, a young man living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. This idyllic life is abruptly interrupted, however, by a series of painfully disillusioning events that set him off on a wide-ranging journey. This edition is based on the unattributed 1918 translation published in the U.S. by Boni \u0026amp; Liveright in 1918.\n\nFrançois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit and his advocacy for freedom of speech and religion.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1087113490\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1087113490.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Voltaire\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
