Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Trade Paperback in Good Condition. A Norton Critical Edition, Translated and Edited by Robert M. Adams. A New Translation , Backgrounds, and Criticism. Clean and bright card cover in orange and white with black lettering with liiustration. Slight wear to cover edges,light crease down hinge, some text red ink underlined up to page 77, doesn't affect easy readability, and on page one, there is text yellow highlighted. Text block edges clean and white. On the first page encountered when opening the cover, there is a type written "Can You Stop Evil" essay on Candide and Frankenstein that is fixed to two pages in front and two pages in back (not on text pages). On the second title page, there is a red ink humorous drawing. Pages are white and text is clear. and clean. Candide was first published in 1759, set out as the work of "Dr. Ralph", not as written by M. de Voltaire, the well-known poet, tragedian, historian, philosopher, and friend of Frederick the Great. The story of a gentle man pummeled by fate who clings to the belief that he lives "in the best of all possible worlds". It is an amusing book--but also cruel and destructive and funny. Candide's cruelty is not sour, and it remains fun. There's something in it for everyone, and deserves its designation as a "classic". viii +194 pages with bibliography. 8.6 x 5.2 inches. 1966, Norton & Co, New York, New York, USA.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. with 20 illustrations in (pastel) colour by Sylvain Sauvage (illustrator). 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.
