By Voltaire
Injustement chassé du château où il fut élevé, le jeune Candide half à l. a. découverte d'un monde dans lequel « tout est pour le mieux ». Mais tout en essayant de suivre les préceptes de son maître Pangloss, dont l'enthousiasme n'a pas de limites, il découvre les dures réalités d'un temps marqué par los angeles violence. À travers ce parcours initiatique, Voltaire, symbole de l'esprit français du XVIIIe siècle, manie avec brio l'ironie, arme absolue contre les bassesses humaines et les injustices. los angeles verve de ce philosophe éclairé, pamphlétaire redouté, dépasse et ridiculise les bavasseries d'un Pangloss aveuglé par un optimisme qui n'est pas de mise face aux guerres et à l'intolérance. Candide ou l'optimisme, l'une des oeuvres maîtresses du siècle des Lumières et parmi les plus inspirées de Voltaire, demeure d'une étonnante fraîcheur et d'une vérité incontestable.

Who, precisely, have been the French bourgeoisie? not like the Anglo-Americans, who extensively embraced middle-class beliefs and values, the French--even the main prosperous and conservative--have constantly rejected and maligned bourgeois values and identification. during this new method of the previous query of the bourgeoisie, Sarah Maza specializes in the the most important interval prior to, in the course of, and after the French Revolution, and provides a provocative solution: the French bourgeoisie hasn't ever existed. regardless of the big numbers of good middling town-dwellers, no staff pointed out themselves as bourgeois. Drawing on political and financial thought and background, own and polemical writings, and works of fiction, Maza argues that the bourgeoisie used to be by no means the social norm. actually, it functioned as a serious counter-norm, an imagined and perilous embodiment of materialism, self-interest, commercialism, and mass tradition, which outlined all that the French rejected. A problem to traditional knowledge approximately smooth French heritage, this e-book poses broader questions about the position of anti-bourgeois sentiment in French tradition, via suggesting parallels among the figures of the bourgeois, the Jew, and the yank within the French social imaginary. it's a fabulous and well timed foray into our ideals and fantasies in regards to the social global and our definition of a social classification.

Qui est cet inconnu able d’en remontrer au grand Czentovic, champion mondial des échecs, véritable prodige aussi fruste qu’antipathique ? Peut-on le croire, quand il affirme qu’il n’a pas joué depuis plus de vingt ans ? Les circonstances dans lesquelles l’homme a acquis cette technological know-how sont terribles. Elles nous renvoient aux expérimentations nazies sur les effets de l’isolement absolu, lorsque, aux frontières de los angeles folie, entre deux interrogatoires, le cerveau humain parvient à déployer ses facultés les plus étranges. Une delusion inquiétante, fantastique, qui, comme le dit un personnage avec une ironie douloureuse, « pourrait servir d’illustration à los angeles charmante époque où nous vivons ».
