| Summary: |
"Candide is one of the most outrageous tales ever set down by the pen of man. It is a story of love and war and gallantry and laughter and intrigue and passion. Hailed as a classic, damned as pornography, read alike in universities and cafes, this masterpiece of man's wit is one of the most widely read books in the history of the world. Candide is justly known as the most impudent tale of morals ever told - and as the greatest of all French novels." --Back cover. |
