Voltaire`s Candide or the Optimist and Rasselas Prince of Abyssinia: It must not be forgotten that these utterances in 1759 preceded by only thirty years the struggle of the French Revolution. That came upon many a young heart as endeavour prompted by an ardent hope to raise men by one great effort to the higher ground that we seek now to reach only by slow and patient climbing. There is no reason why, as men rise in civilization, they should not come to build their happiness on sure founda tions, paying less heed to the LO here and Lo there, as they learn more surely that the kingdom of God is within them. Voltaire was about fifteen years older than Johnson for he was born in February 1694, and Johnson in September 1709. Voltaire was sixty-five years old when he published Candide Johnson fifty when, at the same time, he published Rasselas. Voltaire died in May 1778, Johnson in December 1784 both were dead, therefore, at the time of the outburst of the French Revolution. Englisch, Ebook.

Excerpt from Voltaire's Candide or the Optimist and Rasselas Prince of Abyssinia As we toil on towards a higher civilization, the difficulties caused by our own yet imperfect sense of right will slowly pass away, and there will remain only the healthy battle against sur rounding nature, with the contests of opinion through which God bids us use our energies for the securing of new power from new truth, contests of Wth the issues will be no longer obscured by anger and evil-speaking. Who would forego the use of energies by which alone man feels that he is made in the likeness of God, to become one of many creatures all born to attain one definite perfection to be as one cabbage in a cabbage garden, or one peach in the ripe crop upon a sunny wall? All evils of life, wittily heaped together in Candide, when they arise from man's fraud and wrong-doing are conquerable in long course of time; and conquest of them means that. Advance of civilization towards which we have begun to labour in this century with more definite aims than heretofore. The struggle of the French Revolution to lift men at once above those grosser ills of life which pressed upon them in the eighteenth century, and wrung from them such books as Candide and Rasselas, failed only in its immediate aim. Its highest hope is with us still, quickened though sobered by the failure of immediate attainment. A State can be no better than the citizens of which it is composed. Our labour now is not to mould States but make citizens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
