　　Voltaire's shocking wit and biting portrayal of the eighteenthcentury church and aristocracy are now showcased in a newtranslation of Candide, a bestseller in its time and essentialreading for a deeper understanding of Voltaire and Enlightenmentthought. Preserving the text's provocative nature as well as itsaccuracy, Daniel Gordon has paid special attention to improving notonly the rendering of particular words, but to Voltaire's semanticovertones by amplifying the book's innuendo, enhancing Candide'sreadability and ensuring that readers will not miss bold featuresof the story. The introduction places Candide and Voltaire in theirhistorical context, relating the complexities of Voltaire's life tothe events, philosophy, and characters of Candide, showingprecisely why the Enlightenment is known as the Age ofVoltaire. 　　Voltaire (Fran?ois-Marie Arouet) (1694—1778) was one of thekey thinkers of the European Enlightenment. Of his many works,Candide remains the most popular.

Widely acclaimed for his recent translation of thecomplete works of Isaac Babel, he also translated Gogol’s TarasBulba and Tolstoy’s The Cossacks for the Modern Library.
