Gracias.

Es una maravilla, y una oportunidad para los seres humanos de nuestros tiempos, tan carente de valores humanísticos, de amar, admirar, imitar y disfrutar de la más Literatura Clásica Universal que se haya escrito jamás.

Y todo, a cambio de nada.

Repito, os estoy profundamente agradecida.

La voz y la entonación del lector es literalmente hermosa y perfecta.

Una saludo desde Barcelona. (Spain)

I love Voltaire, thanks for making this easy to just listen to in the background.

[clawpuss]

Thanks for posting this all-time classic

In colleges across the world the intro, "Candide never bored anybody except William Wordsworth" triggers murmered, 'bores me too' and a few 'I must be a freakin' genius Wordsmith' from English majors dreamin of pennin' the next Great American Novel. Candide is not relevant today which makes it more of a history of where we've been rather than really evoking any new thought as it did in its day. Trite.

[handshand]

This book should evoke philosophical thoughts that are very relevant to this day//

[Gwoendolei]

The narrator, that is all. Candide is excellent.

[htgbfwe]

[griffincribbs]

Oh my god, I fell asleep, this guy sounds so stoned.

[sugarcane]

why? what's wrong with the way the narrator talk(read?) I mean, I tend to read(in English) this way (I'm from Thailand though, we speak Thai here)

[Samoaplaya]

Because of the people who were forced to read this.

[zoubdoub]

i am moroccan and i have to do the same, ugh --'

[argglefarggle]

to enjoy candide you must be on heavy drugs, or not, or on a little bit of drugs. actually anyone can enjoy a good voltaire.

[htgbfwe]

i prefer the traditional "book" with real pages of real paper! i shall buy Voltaires book from a real shelf in a real shop! none of this E-Bay nonsense!

[erniemajor]

Skipping the pretentious 'introduction', it actually starts around 7:28.

[fabptitpom]

Candide... Almost every french student has to read/analyse it. It's quite boring. :(

[robertwet]

Boring lecture ever seen here as no video to support the lecture at all, not interested indeed!
