Story
Cándido figura a la cabeza de todas las novelas y cuentos de Voltaire como la pieza indiscutible del arte narrativo del Siglo de las Luces. Es una novela de aprendizaje, y su héroe un optimista que ha asimilado las teorías del providencialismo leibniziano: cree a pies juntillas que el mundo es un paraíso, a pesar de que, desde la primera línea, la realidad se encarga de negarlo.

Story
First published in 1752, "Micromegas" is one of Voltaire’s best-known works. It is a tale of mordant irony, and actually the original science-fiction short story. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromegas discovers the people of Earth, so small compared to him that he first believes that no creature this size can hope to achieve any degree of intelligence; he will soon discover the ways and thoughts of these diminutive people, who clearly have an over-inflated idea of their own importance in the universe. Voltaire's extrapolations of sun-powered interstellar flight, alien civilizations, and the two moons of Mars, are designed to make us see ourselves in a new light and laugh at what we find.

Story
In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

Story
"600 Quotations from French Philosophy" is a collection of thoughts and reflections from six of the greatest French thinkers of all time. France’s influence on Western philosophy cannot be understated, from the Age of Enlightenment through to the founding of modern philosophy. Many of these quotes have as much resonance today as they did when they were first coined. Superb for dipping in and out of, there are more than a few thoughts in this book worth memorising, and even more that are sure to inspire.

Story
Known as the "Age of Enlightenment", the 1700s were a time that provoked significant leaps in philosophical thought. Most importantly, the thinkers of the time espoused the virtues of happiness, the evidence provided by the senses, and the distance between organised religion and the state. "400 Quotations from the Philosophy of the Enlightenment" offers a fascinating insight into the philosophical revolution that was taking place during the 18th century. It is ideal for those needing an extra bit of motivation throughout their day.

Story
On sait tout de Candide, sauf une chose : quel rapport l'auteur avait-il avec ses personnages ? Les a-t-il imaginés ou connus ? A-t-il partagé certaines de leurs aventures ? Est-il caché dans un coin du roman pour les observer ? Ce regard que Voltaire pouvait porter de l'intérieur sur sa création, c'est justement celui qu'au-delà des connaissances acquises, on a eu l'audace de tenter de porter sur Candide. Cette édition change l'interprétation du plus étudié, mais aussi de plus secret des contes voltairiens. Il s'y présente de façon nouvelle.

Story
Voltaire war kein Philosoph mit einem System. Er war DER Intellektuelle seiner Zeit und verteilte in Aufsätzen, Briefen und Pamphleten als Kritiker seiner Zeit und dessen Geistes seine Schläge rundum. Zum Beispiel werden Descartes, Pascal oder Rousseau mit entschiedenen Gesten des Platzes verwiesen. Er macht sich Gedanken zur Freiheit, zum Materialismus, zur Seele, den Sternen (Gott nicht zu vergessen) vom Wert des Lebens und vom Tod und verfasst einen noch heute gültigen Aufsatz wider den Krieg. Er ist jemand, der noch heute aufklärt.

Story
Candide är en ung rik slyngel som bor i ett stort slott någonstans i Tyskland. Han är en optimistisk person, som i hela sitt liv fått precis vad han velat ha. När han ertappas med att kyssa sin släkting, den sköna Kunigunda, blir han dock utslängd från sitt hem. Det som sedan följer är en lång och svår resa, som går genom fångenskap, tvångsvärvning till den Bulgariska armén. Kriget som sedan följer är svårt och våldsamt, där slakt och krigsbrott hör till vardagen.

Story
Candide è in grande difficoltà. Afflitto da una serie infinita di tragiche sfortune, riesce comunque a tenere la testa alta, rimanendo caparbiamente aggrappato alla promessa del filosofo Leibniz per la quale il mondo in cui viviamo è il migliore dei mondi possibili. "Candide", la celebre e pungente satira di Voltaire del 1959, ha un ritmo frenetico, è caustico e fa sbellicare dalle risate, ma al contempo contiene un'esplorazione magistrale della filosofia, della religione, del pregiudizio e della crudeltà del cieco ottimismo.
