Den unika kortromanen som aldrig överträffats i ironi, satir och - splatter! Candide eller Optimismen av Voltaire. Nu i efterlängtad nyöversättning av Marie Berthelius och med efterord av Svante Nordin. Candide lever i lyx på baronens gods men efter ett erotiskt snedsteg med den vackra Kunigunda kastas han ut i en eländig omvärld och börjar dra från land till land i Europa och Sydamerika. Episoderna som Candide råkar ut för utgör ett smatterband av förfärliga groteskerier, den ena händelsen överträffar den andra i otyglade känslor och besinningslösa utlevelser. Och hela tiden försöker Candides vän filosofen Pangloss göra gällande att trots alla olyckor som drabbar dem lever de i "den bästa tänkbara av världar". Upplysningsfilosofen Voltaire (1694-1778) är känd för många saker - bland annat brukar man citera hans påstådda uttalande att även om han avskydde sina meningsmotståndares åsikter skulle han vara beredd att dö för deras rätt att uttala dem. Citatet är, som Svante Nordin poängterar i sitt efterord, naturligtvis falskt. Voltaire var inte mannen som var beredd att dö för några åsikter, inte ens för sina egna. Voltaire var omåttligt produktiv med sin berömda vassa penna. Böcker av skilda slag, biografier, dramer, dikter och en väldig mängd brev finns bevarade. Enbart utgåvan av hans samlade brev omfattar 13 volymer på vardera cirka 1500 sidor. Men av allt detta är det bara en enda bok som idag lever i all välmåga och faktiskt utan jämförelse är den text från upplysningstiden som har fått störst spridning och som fortfarande läses och ständigt hyllas som en alldeles makalös bok - nämligen denna lilla brännheta skrift - kortromanen Candide. Den är Voltaires ojämförligt mest lästa, oftast utgivna och oftast översatta verk, därtill säkert det mest lästa verket i hela den franska sjuttonhundratalslitteraturen. På sina drygt hundra sidor inrymmer den på sätt och vis "hela Voltaire" - hans kvickhet, hans elakhet, hans goda humör, hans fyndiga stilkonst, hans överlägsna perspektiv, hans vrede och hans medkänsla. Därtill - tyvärr, frestas man att säga - hans aktualitet. De grymheter och bestialiska dåd som skildras i Candide skulle ha kunnat äga rum i början av 1990-talet under upplösningen av det tidigare Jugoslavien eller just nu i Mellanöstern.

Witty and caustic, Candide has ranked as one of the world's great satires since its first publication in 1759. In the story of the trials and travails of the youthful Candide, his mentor Dr. Pangloss, and a host of other characters, Voltaire mercilessly satirizes and exposes romance, science, philosophy, religion, and government.
Treatise on Toleration

Voltaire's Treatise on Toleration is one of the most important essays on religious tolerance and freedom of thought A powerful, impassioned case for the values of freedom of conscience and religious tolerance, Treatise on Toleration was written after the Toulouse merchant Jean Calas was falsely accused of murdering his son and executed on the wheel in 1762. As it became clear that Calas had been persecuted by 'an irrational mob' for being a Protestant, the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire began a campaign to vindicate him and his family. The resulting work, a screed against fanaticism and a plea for understanding, is as fresh and urgent today as when it was written.

Voltaires mästerverk Candide [1759] publicerades ursprungligen med undertiteln »eller optimismen«, som en föraning om den satiriska uppgörelse med den samtida filosofen Leibniz svärmiska ideal som romanen skulle utgöra. Leibniz menade att vår värld är »den bästa av alla tänkbara världar«, och Voltaires romanfigur Candide undervisas här i denna lära av den pedantiske och obotligt optimistiske filosofen Pangloss. Denna utgåva innehåller även den mästerliga essän Traktat om toleransen [Traité sur la tolérance, 1763]. Dess bakgrund är att en fransk köpman, Jean Calais - som var protestant - på felaktiga grunder dömts till döden efter att ha anklagats för mordet på sin egen son. Voltaire inledde en kampanj för att försvara Calais. Som upplysningsfilosof och humanist väckte han frågor om mänsklig värdighet och tolerans, och hans polemiskt knivskarpa essä är en kritik av religiös fanatism och en vädjan till förståelse, vars relevans kvarstår än i dag. Två vitt skilda verk, som båda kommit att betraktas som tidlösa klassiker, här i översättning av David Sprengel (Candide) och Gustaf Åman-Nilsson (Traktat om toleransen).
VOLTAIRE [1694-1778], född François-Marie Arouet, var en av de stora franska upplysningsfilosoferna. Voltaire var en skicklig polemiker och deltog under sin levnadstid ständigt i den offentliga debatten. Vid sidan om sina filosofiska texter skrev han romaner, varav Candide anses vara den främsta, såväl som historiska verk, skådespel och poesi.

Tänk om hela vår värld bara var en obetydlig vattenpöl i universums utkant, och vi själva var så små att vi inte ens gick att se?
Följ med Micromégas, en jätte från stjärnan Sirius, på en svindlande resa genom galaxen i jakt efter kunskap och mening. Tillsammans med en vän från Saturnus landar han på jorden, en plats som för dem framstår som ödslig och tom. I denna aktuella och språkligt uppfräschade version får Voltaires klassiska berättelse nytt liv, där kosmiska proportioner möter mänsklig småsinthet.
När de två giganterna väl upptäcker de mikroskopiska varelserna som kallar sig människor, uppstår ett samtal som vänder upp och ner på allt. Genom mötet med vetenskapsmän och filosofer på en östersjöstrand utmanas deras – och våra – föreställningar om storhet, krig och stolthet. Det är en berättelse som med skärpa och kvickhet blottlägger människans fåfänga mitt i det oändliga världsalltet.
Denna moderna tolkning gör den tidiga science fiction-litteraturens mest kända satir tillgänglig för en ny generation. Det är en tänkvärd och underhållande betraktelse över vår plats i universum, skriven med en lätthet som gör de stora frågorna spännande och begripliga.

Enligt den franska filosofen och författaren Voltaire var Karl XII "den märkvärdigaste man som någonsin levat på jorden" - ett eftermäle som spreds till hela världen, mycket tack vare detta verk utgivet endast tretton år efter kungens död. Här tecknas krigarkungens många äventyr med lätt hand och med den goda berättarens känsla för drama och spänning. Kungen talar själv ur egen mun och vi får inblick i spelet bakom fältslagen och anekdoter ur hans vardag. Lika mycket som historieskrivning är det en fängslande skriven berättelse och flera av de myter som använts i nationalhistorien om Karl XII har runnit ur Voltaires egen penna. Som en av världslitteraturens klassiker sägs den ligga efter endast bibeln och Bunyans Kristens resa i antal upplagor; i Frankrike rentav fler än dem. Detta verk är ett måste för alla som vill förstå en av den svenska historiens mest omskrivna och mytomspunna personer. I originalöversättning av Gunnar Örnulf Voltaire (1794-1878) var en fransk filosof och författare. Han blev en av sin tids mest inflytelserika gestalter i sin slagkraftiga polemik mot religiöst förtryck, maktfullkomlighet, fördomar och okunnighet. Som en av de stora upplysningsmännen stred han för ökad kunskap inom alla områden, inte minst vetenskap och historia; och för tryckfrihet och religionsfrihet överallt. -

'What can you say to a man who tells you he prefers obeying God rather than men, and that as a result he's certain he'll go to heaven if he cuts your throat?'Voltaire's Pocket Philosophical Dictionary, first published in 1764, is a major work of the European Enlightenment. It is also a highly entertaining book: this is no 'dictionary' in the ordinary sense, nor does it treat 'philosophy' in the modern meaning of the term. It consists of a sequence of short essays or articles, arranged in alphabetical order, and covering everything from Apocalypse and Atheism to Tolerance and Tyranny. The unifying thread of these articles is Voltaire's critique of established religion: ridicule of established dogma, attacks on superstition, and pleas for toleration. Witty and ironic, this is very much a work of combat, part of Voltaire's high-profile political struggle in the 1760s to defend the victims of religious and political intolerance. This new translation is based on the definitive French text, and reprints the edition that provoked widespread controversy and condemnation. In his Introduction Nicholas Cronk considers the work's continuing relevance to modern debates about religious intolerance and its consequences. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Inspired by Voltaire's two-year stay in England (1726-8), this is one of the key works of the Enlightment. Exactly contemporary with Gulliver's Travels and The Beggar's Opera, Voltaire's controversial pronouncements on politics, philosophy, religion, and literature have place the Letters among the great Augustan satires. Voltaire wrote most of the book in English, in which he was fluent and witty, and it fast became a bestseller in Britain. He re-wrote it in French as the Lettres philosophiques, and current editions in English translate his French. This edition restores for the modern reader Voltaire's own English text, allowing us to appreciate him as a stylist at first hand. It is the only critical edition of the original text and, as well as providing an introduction and notes, it includes intriguing accounts of Voltaire by contemporary English ovservers.

Voltaire is widely known as the author of a literary masterpiece, Candide, while his reputation as a thinker rests largely on his Philosophical Letters and Philosophical Dictionary. He is equally renowned as a critic of the forces of superstition and fanaticism, and a champion of freedom of thought and belief. The works presented here, in a new English translation, are among the most important and characteristic texts of the Enlightenment, and bring together all three aspects of Voltaire: the writer, the doer and the philosophe. Originating in Voltaire's campaign to exonerate Jean Calas, they are works of polemical brilliance, informed by his deism and humanism and by Enlightenment values and ideals more generally. The issues which they raise, concerning questions of tolerance and human dignity, are still highly relevant to our own times. This volume presents them together with an introduction by Simon Harvey and useful notes on further reading.

Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher''s immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that -- contrary to the teachings of his distringuished tutor Dr. Pangloss -- all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, Candide has become Voltaire''s most celebrated work.
