书籍简介

《老实人》是伏尔泰哲理小说代表作。主人公“老实人”相信老师邦葛罗斯的乐观主义哲学，即在这个世界上，一切事物都是无缺。他是一位男爵收养的私生子，由于他爱上男爵的女儿，结果被赶出了家门，从此他四处漂泊流浪，一路上他遭遇种种的折磨和灾难，看到人与人之间的冷漠，陷害，迷信，可是他仍然坚信他的无缺世界观。直到他到了一个黄金国，国内遍地都是黄金、碧玉和宝石，人人过着自由平等，快乐而富裕的生活，他终于慢慢认识到社会的残酷和冷漠，于是他抛弃了以往的哲学思想，并开始相信人生应该通过劳动来获得幸福。

Candide is an innocent young nobleman who leads an idyllic, sheltered life and has adopted the optimistic mindset promoted by his tutor Dr Pangloss. But after committing an indiscretion and being expelled from his family home, Candide finds himself on a journey that will take him to Portugal, Argentina, Britain and Turkey and expose him to torture, war, shipwreck and natural disasters, leading him to question whether he is really living in the "best of possible worlds". Published in 1759, when it became a best-seller and stirred up much controversy, Candide is an exhilarating picaresque romp and a biting satire by one of the Enlightenment's major figures that still resonates to this day.
