Voltaire - Candide (Published in by The Folio Society in 1948. Philosopher, playwright and historian, Voltaire, during his eighty-four years of life, wrote an enormous number of books. Yet it is CANDIDE above all his works, which has kept his memory alive in the hearts of posterity. This biting satire, which was written largely as an attack on the fanatical intolerance of eighteenth century France, remains both timeless and timely in its living thought. Each page sparkles with wit, each chapter overflows with incident. 136pp. Colour frontis. 6 colour illus. Line drawings. Illus by Kenneth Hobson. The 1st ed. Of the fifth Folio Society book. Illustrated by Kenneth Hobson. )
