Synopsis
David Wootton's scalpel-sharp translation of Candide features a brilliant Introduction, a map of Candide's travels, and a selection of those writings of Voltaire, Leibniz, Pope and Rousseau crucial for fully appreciating this eighteenth-century satiric masterpiece that even today retains its celebrated bite.
"Wootton's edition is clearly the best on the market- the supporting material is brilliantly chosen and lavishly presented given the cost of the book."
-MIchael Kulikowski, Smith College
