Collected Works of Voltaire (Volume 10): Candide, Innocent Man, and Ode to the Lisbon Disaster

Voltaire

125K0

"Collected Works of Voltaire" (Volume 10) is a literary volume that contains three literary works by Voltaire. Among them, "Candide" and "The Innocent Man" are his representative philosophical novels; "Candide" is listed as a bibliography for French middle school students. "Ode to the Lisbon Disaster" is a philosophical poem with the theme of the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755. The style and plot of "Candide" are absurd. In the words of Italian contemporary writer Calvino, "Candide" "is a series of disasters piled up at an infinite speed, and the rhythm suddenly increases, which contains a sense of absurdity that occurs without any reason." But it contains great realistic relevance. "The Innocent" is a masterpiece of Voltaire's late philosophical novels. Naive Han grew up living among tribes in Canada and returned to France as an adult. He is incompatible with hypocrisy and cunning customs. In the collision with the world and society, he constantly understands society and the truth. After going through twists and turns such as being arrested in the Bastille, he finally "gained the appreciation of a gentleman." The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was one of the most destructive and fatal earthquakes in human history, and triggered successive disasters such as tsunamis and fires. "Ode to the Disaster of Lisbon" expresses Voltaire's wavering and doubts about the optimism he has always believed in, and questions "the goodness of the whole" and "everything is beautiful". This philosophical poem is presented in Chinese and French for easy comparison and reading.
