Synopsis
Product Dimensions: 17.8 x 12.4 x 1.2 cm 17.8 x 12.4 x 1.2 cm Présentation de l'éditeur Que signifie ce nom " Candide " innocence de celui qui ne connaît pas le mal ou illusion du naïf qui n'a pas fait l'expérience du monde ? Voltaire joue en 1759, après le tremblement de terre de Lisbonne, sur ce double sens. II nous fait partager les épreuves fictives d'un jeune homme simple, confronté aux leurres de l'optimisme, mais qui n'entend pas désespérer et qui en vient à une sagesse finale, mesurée et mystérieuse. Candide n'en a pas fini de nous inviter au gai savoir et à la réflexion. Avant d'aborder l'œuvre : fiche d'identité de l'auteur ; repères chronologiques ; fiche d'identité de l'œuvre ; l'œuvre dans son siècle ; lire Candide aujourd'hui. Pour approfondir : clefs de lecture ; genre, action, personnages ; l'œuvre : origines et prolongements ; l'œuvre : son courant, ses tendances ; vers le bac : écrit, oral ; outils de lecture ; bibliographie et filmographie.
