A new translation directly from the original French manuscript of Voltaire's 1759 Candide. This edition also contains supplemental material on Voltaire including an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Voltaire's life and works, summaries of each of the works in his corpus, and a glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Voltaire. This work by Voltaire is perhaps his most famous work, a satirical novel that follows the adventures of a young man named Candide, who travels the world encountering a series of absurd and often violent events. This work was a direct reply to Rousseau, whom Voltaire absolutely hated. Candide is Voltaire's criticism of the prevailing optimism of the time, arguing that the world was a fundamentally flawed and cruel place and the new age of Romanticism is a delusion. Written later in 1759, this is perhaps Voltaire's most renowned work. It's a satirical novella that's been hailed as one of the world's greatest pieces of literature. It is a sharp critique of optimism, as embodied by the philosophy of Leibniz, especially as articulated by his disciple, Alexander Pope. Schopenhauer, writes in Will and Representation: As Voltaire, in Candide, wages war against optimism in his jocular manner, so Byron did in his serious and tragic, in his immortal masterpiece Cain, for which reason he has also been glorified by the invectives of the obscurantist Friedrich Schlegel. - If, finally, I were to present the sayings of great minds of all times in this sense, which is opposed to optimism, in order to confirm my view, there would be no end to the citations, since almost all of them have expressed their recognition of the misery of this world in strong words. Thus, not for confirmation, but merely for ornamentation of this chapter, a few sayings of this kind may find place at the end of it.

"The findings, in essence, reveal a person of dual identity, with unconscious forces playing a prominent role and holding the key to Voltaire's paradoxical character. His conscious, rational, and cognitively astute self - the standard-bearer of the philosophes in their epochal struggle for freedom - was also responsible for sealing off the subconscious portion of the self associated with traumatic experiences. The elaborate characterological structure erected to ward off consciously unacceptable impulses and, simultaneously, to obtain satisfaction of frustrated needs, is the subject of this study. The price he had to pay for the drastic disconnect between the two selves was formidable. In this volume, much attention is devoted to the unconventional ways and phantasmal stratagems adopted for dealing with the internal pressure of repressed impulses and a perpetual quest for affectional support. Some of these maneuvers show tenuous contact with social reality, as do his bizarre psychosomatic symptoms and bold rationalizations in the Memoirs." "Fortunately for the Western world, Voltaire's prodigious mind was put to use in rattling the cage of the intolerant and rigidly backward theocratic/political system. Due to his immense popularity as a playwright, and his agile participation in current events through a flood of pamphlets, leaflets, and occasional pieces, together with the gigantic volume and engaging style of his correspondence, the name Voltaire became synonymous with the Age of Enlightenment. The dual identity did not interfere with his effectiveness as a humanist. In fact, there is reason to believe that the energy invested in fighting l'infame, the oppressive authority of Church and State, was augmented by a dynamic driving force of the hidden self: the never verbalized and consciously never processed bitter resentment of paternal coercion. Principles and methods of depth psychology, as applied in the study, are elucidated and illustrated."--Jacket.
