Candide, Zadig And Selected Stories

by Voltaire, Thaisa Frank, John Iverson
Candide, Zadig And Selected Stories - Thryft
Candide, Zadig And Selected Stories - Thryft

Sarcastic wit on life's absurdities

Candide, Zadig and Selected Stories is an excellent choice for those who enjoy satirical and humorous takes on life's events. Voltaire uses witty dialogue and absurd situations to humorously critique various aspects of society, including religion, politics, and human nature. The stories are engaging and easy to read, making it a great choice for those who want to be entertained while also pondering about life's moral and ethical questions.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
