~ Collector’s Edition ~ Laminated Hardback with Jacket ~In a world where chaos reigns and every turn brings a new calamity, a young idealist clings to the belief that everything happens for the best. Catapulted from his comfortable life into a brutal journey of war, disaster, and betrayal, he encounters a wild cast of characters who test his faith in optimism. As he crosses continents and faces absurd challenges, his steadfast beliefs begin to crack, revealing the raw edges of human folly. Yet, through it all, he remains determined to reunite with his lost love, questioning the nature of happiness and destiny. Candide is a powerful satire that challenged the intellectual and political foundations of its time, striking at the optimism promoted by philosophers like Leibniz. Through biting humor and absurd misadventures, Voltaire exposed the harsh realities of war, injustice, and the folly of blind faith in a perfect world. His bold critique resonated with a society on the cusp of the Enlightenment, inspiring readers to question authority and established beliefs. Today, Candide remains a vibrant call to think critically and seek truth, even when it disrupts comfortable illusions.

    This powerful work was read by Voltaire to Frederick of Prussia in 1740, to the king’s great delight.
