Condition: Very Good
Description: Small 4to, 147 pages, two-tone cloth, lightly rubbed; lacks the publisher's slipcase. "For the optimistic, innocent Candide, and his equally guileless if more worldly-wise mentor, Dr. Pangloss, and their delicious adventures, still command our attention. The folly of philosophic and religious optimism is displayed with a vigour and wit that carries the reader away. Irony without exaggeration, a perfect restraint in its admirable humour, a gift for the 'hrowaway line' ('pour encourager les autres' is a classic example); all these show Voltaire's style and originality at their incomparable best --PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN, 204." Illustrated from 20 watercolors by Sylvain Sauvage. Translated by Richard Aldington; Introduction by Paul Morand. This is one of the few Nonesuch Press books which was co-published with The Heritage Press.
