Candide : ou l'optimisme, seconde partie (1760), Paperback / softback Book

Candide : ou l'optimisme, seconde partie (1760) Paperback / softback

Edited by Edouard M. Langille

Part of the Exeter Textes Litteraires series

Paperback / softback

Description

Pastiche, imitation but also a continuation of Voltaire's most celebrated tale, Candide, seconde partie, picks up many of the original's themes.

Leibniz, Descartes and Newton are gently mocked; Pascal is accused of trying to make us hate humankind.

If it cannot begin to compare with Voltaire's masterpiece, the tale is nonetheless an amusing and instructive imitation.
