"Candide, seconde partie" is an amusing, instructive and sometimes naughty imitation of Voltaire's masterpiece. A continuation of Candide's pilgrimage through a strange and cruel world, the story is a satire in the manner of Voltaire, and picks up many of the original tale's characters as well as its pet themes. To some extent, the book tells us a great deal about the spirit in which contemporary readers understood Voltaire's wit and satire. At the same time, it allows today's reader to take another look at Candide itself. It appeared bound with Voltaire's original in 1760. It went through many French editions in the 1760s and 1770s and was translated into English as soon as it appeared. Many thoughtful and cultured readers opined at the time that the work was by Voltaire himself. It has not been published in French since 1877 although it is widely available in an English-language translation. This text should interest specialists and could serve as a primary text in graduate level courses on 18th-century French literature and, more specifically, Voltaire himself, as well as courses dealing with the problem of authorship and imitation.

评分《老实人》是法国作家伏尔泰写于1759年的哲理讽刺小说,是他晚年的代表作。 “老实人”是德国一位男爵妹妹的私生子,生性乐观,爱上了自己的表妹居内贡,而后被男爵赶出家门。“老实人”四处流浪,从一个国家走向另一个国家,这一段段的旅途中,他虽始终保持乐观的心态,但不幸...
评分 评分在另外一本书中读到,伏尔泰创作《老实人》的一个重要原因是源于一场灾难:1755年11月1日清晨,里斯本发生一场灾难性地震,突如其来的强震摧毁了教堂,公共建筑和诸多楼房,紧接着就是余震带来的海啸。无数人在这场灾难中丧生,更多人流离失所。就在万圣节这天,上帝让这场灾难...
