Sobre este artículo
London & New York: The Nonesuch Press / The Heritage Press, 1939. First edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good. Sylvain Sauvage. Small 4to, 147 pages, two-tone cloth, lightly rubbed; lacks the publisher's slipcase.
"For the optimistic, innocent Candide, and his equally guileless if more worldly-wise mentor, Dr. Pangloss, and their delicious adventures, still command our attention. The folly of philosophic and religious optimism is displayed with a vigour and wit that carries the reader away. Irony without exaggeration, a perfect restraint in its admirable humour, a gift for the 'hrowaway line' ('pour encourager les autres' is a classic example); all these show Voltaire's style and originality at their incomparable best --PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN, 204." Illustrated from 20 watercolors by Sylvain Sauvage. Translated by Richard Aldington; Introduction by Paul Morand. This is one of the few Nonesuch Press books which was co-published with The Heritage Press.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
