Classics Editorial Review
Candide and Other Works Wordsworth Classics is a collection of stories by the celebrated writer Voltaire. The book showcases Voltaire's gift for combining humor and satire, as he pokes fun at the values and mores of his time. The writing is smooth and easy to follow, with no unnecessary waffle. Each story is well-written and thought-provoking, demonstrating why these tales have endured throughout the centuries. One reviewer mentions that the print in the book is very small, hazy, and blurred, which ruined their reading experience. They suggest either taking a printout or buying the book from a store to avoid this issue. Another reviewer expresses disappointment with the publishers, claiming that they send out thin, recycled paper and defective items to online purchasers. Despite these negative comments about the print quality, the majority of reviewers appreciate the content of the book. One reviewer mentions that they were recommended Candide by a photographer friend, but ended up enjoying the entire book. Another reviewer, who had only read a few classics before, expresses their intention to read more after discovering Voltaire's work. Overall, Candide and Other Works Wordsworth Classics is praised for its smooth writing style, thought-provoking content, and enduring relevance.
