DOWNLOAD EBOOKTranslated and illustrated by Nicolae Sfetcu. A philosophical tale, a story of a journey that will transform the eponymous hero into a philosopher. An important debate on fatalism and the existence of Evil. For a long time Voltaire has been fiercely opposed to the ideas of the philosopher Leibniz concerning God, the "principle of sufficient reason," and his idea of "pre-established harmony." God is perfect, the world can not be, but God has created the best possible world. Evil exists punctually, but it is compensated elsewhere by an infinitely great good. Nothing happens without there being a necessary cause. An encouragement to fatalism. Voltaire opposes to this optimism that he considers smug, a lucid vision on the world and its imperfections, a confidence in the man who is able to improve his condition. In Candide, Voltaire openly attacks Leibnizian optimism and makes Pangloss a ridiculous defender of this philosophy. Criticism of optimism is the main theme of the tale: each of the adventures of the hero tends to prove that it is wrong to believe that our world is the best of all possible worlds.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVoltaire, France's most distinguished man of letters, derided the bureaucracies of his day with savage contempt and entertained readers, creating exotic panoramas in his satirical stories, sixteen of which are presented in this volume. This indispensable collection features the author's masterpiece, Candide. Candide parodies the classic, romantic coming-of-age story, with the naïve, ever-optimistic title character confronting the evils of the real world. His forbidden love of a baron's daughter causes Candide to be evicted from his home and sheltered life into a desolate 16th-century Europe--where the strong prey on the weak and misery abounds in the heart of humanity. With Candide and the other stories in this collection, the master of social commentary dissects science and spiritual faith, ethics and legal systems, love and human vanity. Candide * Zadig * Micromegas * The World as It Is * Memnon * Bababec and the Fakirs * History of Scarmentado's Travels * Plato's Dream * Account of the Sickness, Confession, Death, and Apparition of the Jesuit Berthier * Story of a Good Brahman * Jeannot and Colin * An Indian Adventure * Ingenuous * The One-Eyed Porter * Memory's Adventure * Count Chesterfield's Ears and Chaplain Goudman
