Candide (version 3)


Leído por John Van Stan

(4.7 estrellas; 76 reseñas)

Ever since 1759, when Voltaire wrote "Candide" in ridicule of the notion that this is the best of all possible worlds, this world has been a gayer place for readers. Voltaire wrote it in three days, and five or six generations have found that its laughter does not grow old. - Summary by Philip Littell (4 hr 33 min)

Reseñas

Excellent


(5 estrellas)

Enough has been written about Candide over the centuries. I found this recording excellent, the narrator gives it 100%; his vocal characterizations are enjoyable and facilitate comprehension.

Fabulous!

A lot like Gulliver’s Travels. Voltaire’s tale is just as relevant today as the day it was written. Brilliantly read.

incredible!
