Voltaire CANDIDE
Recorded Books 1991 1556900864 / 9781556900860 Audio Book Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket
Ex-Library; 12 oz.; VG- Ex library Audio Book in hard case w/library markings 3 cassettes unabridged read by Donal Donnelly plays great. Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distringuished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best.
