作为前大革命时代法国乃至整个欧洲最有影响力的思想家,伏尔泰一面著书立说,一面投资各式产业与证券,年收入超过二十万法郎(同期法国年财政收入六千万)。他的几处庄园要么在日内瓦,要么在法瑞边境,几十面窗户朝向日内瓦湖几乎是标配。在费尔涅的欢乐别墅里,伏尔泰接待了...
评分《老实人》是法国作家伏尔泰写于1759年的哲理讽刺小说,是他晚年的代表作。 “老实人”是德国一位男爵妹妹的私生子,生性乐观,爱上了自己的表妹居内贡,而后被男爵赶出家门。“老实人”四处流浪,从一个国家走向另一个国家,这一段段的旅途中,他虽始终保持乐观的心态,但不幸...
评分里斯本大地震后,卢梭认为,这是上帝对人类的惩罚,如果人们不住在城市而住在荒野,如果人们不住在楼房而席地而卧,如果……就不会造成这样的灾难了。伏尔泰闻后大惊,于是就写了《老实人》,用杜兰特的话说“悲观主义从未被如此痛快地论证过。”伏尔泰式讽刺的高明之处在于他...
评分1.这部伏尔泰三日内一蹴而就、倚马而待的文学经典,用讽刺的手法嘲笑了莱布尼兹提出的一种世俗观念——“Optimism”。在书中,这种“有果必有因”、“世界十全十美”的思想,是由Candide崇敬的老师Pangloss(满口胡话之意)所坚持的。但是从他舟车劳顿的一生,却从反面推翻了这...

In this new translation of Voltaire’s Candide, distinguished translator Burton Raffel captures the French novel’s irreverent spirit and offers a vivid, contemporary version of the 250-year-old text. Raffel casts the novel in an English idiom that--had Voltaire been a twenty-first-century American--he might himself have employed. The translation is immediate and unencumbered, and for the first time makes Voltaire the satirist a wicked pleasure for English-speaking readers.
Candide recounts the fantastically improbable travels, adventures, and misfortunes of the young Candide, his beloved Cunégonde, and his devoutly optimistic tutor, Pangloss. Endowed at the start with good fortune and every prospect for happiness and success, the characters nevertheless encounter every conceivable misfortune. Voltaire’s philosophical tale, in part an ironic attack on the optimistic thinking of such figures as G. W. Leibniz and Alexander Pope, has proved enormously influential over the years. In a general introduction to this volume, historian Johnson Kent Wright places Candide in the contexts of Voltaire’s life and work and the Age of Enlightenment.
