Candide : or Optimism

Editorial Reviews
Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker
"[A] fine new translation...."

Review
“Burton Raffel has provided a readable, sprightly, intelligent translation of Candide. In clear, idiomatic, even elegant English he reproduces the brisk, staccato pace of this famous tale, its arresting scenes and striking images.”—Gita May, Columbia University
