Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. with 20 illustrations in (pastel) colour by Sylvain Sauvage (illustrateur). This book is a "royal octavo," which is to say somewhat taller than usual octavo -- it measures 6-5/8th X 10-1/8th inches (16.7 X 25.7 cm.), in a tan slipcase with NO dust jacket as issued. No publication date stated, but presumably between 1939 and 1945 (1942 being our compromise estimate.) Laid in is an appropriate 4-page copy of "Sandglass," the monthly newsletter of the Heritage Club, Number XV:15. Unlike books promoting the castration (chemical or otherwise) of small children which shocked parents now sometimes seek to have removed from the children's sections of tax-funded libraries, which some now dub "book-banning" (despite the fact these titles are still widely available for purchase for private use), Voltaire's "Candide" really was banned (albeit not very effectively.) Despite the "Great Council of Geneva" and the administrators of Paris banning it shortly after its 1759 release, some 30,000 copies were printed in Kehl, right across the Rhine from Strasbourg, and gleefully brought over to Paris, where the book quickly became a "best seller." In 1762, "Candide" -- which ridiculed the hypocrisy of both church and state -- was further listed in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the list of books prohibited by that long-standing champion of free debate, the Roman Catholic Church. 170 years later, in February of 1929, a U.S. Customs official in Boston seized a number of copies of the book, deeming the book "obscene" and thus preventing them from reaching a Harvard University French class. According to Anne Haight ("Banned Books," 1970), the official who confiscated the books explained "About 'Candide,' I'll tell you. For years we've been letting that book get by. There were so many different editions, all sizes and kinds, some illustrated and some plain, that we figured the book must be all right. Then one of us happened to read it. It's a filthy book." And as late as 1944, the U.S. Post Office demanded that "Candide" be dropped from the catalog of major retailer Concord Books. There have been many theatrical adaptations, of course (to include the 1974 Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim comic operetta), though the best known modern adaptations are undoubtedly the 1958 Terry Southern/Mason Hoffenberg novel and subsequent 1968 all-star film adaptation "Candy." 147 pp.

Full-Leather. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. Reissue. Blank publisher's bookplate laid in. Spine bands and corners a bit scuffed. 1977 Full-Leather. xix, [1], 131, [3] pp. Tall 8vo. Dark grey full leather, gilt titles and decorations, all edges gilt, silk moire endpapers, ribbon marker bound in. Translated from the French by Richard Aldington, with an introduction by Paul Morand. Color frontispiece and color and black-and-white illustrations by Sylvain Sauvage. Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, Candide has become Voltaire's most celebrated work. "Candide is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: or, Optimism (1947). It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply "optimism") by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious bildungsroman, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature. Martin Seymour-Smith has listed Candide as one of The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written.
