Introduction
Candide Pt 8: CerebralMix 2014-11-09
Candide Pt 8: the conclusion. This episode of CerebralMix reaches the conclusion of Candide. There is irony in the fact that Candide doesn’t want to marry Cunegonde, but does so out of duty. The fact is that by the end of this story all of the characters are so transformed that believing in the best of all possible worlds seems like an idea that should be completely rejected. However Pangloss still believes in it, while Martin believes quite the contrary.
It’s really the perfect conclusion of the book with soundly rejects the popular concepts of the philosophy at the time, and does so with brilliant parody and satire.
Readings
In the past I’ve reproduced the text of the poems or short pieces that I read during the show. However, with the text of Candide being much longer, I think it is better to grab a copy of the book to read along with the show if you so wish.
The reading by Ted Delorme is based on the Modern Library version from 1918. A copy of this version of the book can obtained from the Internet Archive: Modern Library – Voltaire’s Candide. This book is available in all the all the major eBook formats: ePub, PDF, Kindle, HTML, Daisy and DjVu.
In the playlist below is a link to the LibriVox version of the audio book. The version presented in the show has been modified a bit (removed the opening and closing LibriVox credits on each chapter to make it flow better with the show, normalized the audio level, and created a stereo version from the original mono source files for streaming).
