In this new translation of Voltaire’s Candide, distinguished translator Burton Raffel captures the French novel’s irreverent spirit and offers a vivid, contemporary version of the 250-year-old text. Raffel casts the novel in an English idiom that--had Voltaire been a twenty-first-century American--he might himself have employed. The translation is immediate and unencumbered, and for the first time makes Voltaire the satirist a wicked pleasure for English-speaking readers.
Candide recounts the fantastically improbable travels, adventures, and misfortunes of the young Candide, his beloved Cunégonde, and his devoutly optimistic tutor, Pangloss. Endowed at the start with good fortune and every prospect for happiness and success, the characters nevertheless encounter every conceivable misfortune. Voltaire’s philosophical tale, in part an ironic attack on the optimistic thinking of such figures as G. W. Leibniz and Alexander Pope, has proved enormously influential over the years. In a general introduction to this volume, historian Johnson Kent Wright places Candide in the contexts of Voltaire’s life and work and the Age of Enlightenment.

评分 评分文/刘安娜 一 我都不知道我是怎么翻开伏尔泰的这本《老实人》的,大约是这封面的魅力,还有书名老实人这三个字莫名的吸引了我。 书中对老实人自有一番解说,本是candidate(常见释义,候选人)的音译,“戆第特”,考虑到这则寓言故事里的人设,干脆译为老实人更贴切些。在之后...
评分 评分这本书里的每一个人都是痛苦的,男女老少,贫富贵贱,僧侣俗人……每一个人的命运都颠沛流离,被侵略、被强暴、被充军、被鞭笞、被刑囚、被盘剥、被欺骗、被玩弄、被奴役、被处死,还要饱受病痛的折磨又残又聋。这本书的主人公们(老实人和他的同伴)经历的黑暗比《悲惨世界》...
