"I have used this text in Western Civ courses many timesIt is definitely the best and most accessible Candide available. The annotations are especially helpful to students (and to their professors)." -- Mark W. McLeod, Gonzaga University "The Norton Critical Edition of Candide is a teaching gem, with clear, unmistakable glosses, an accurate translation and just enough background and criticism for undergraduate study as well as graduate-level reference. This is an excellent start!" -- Frank E. Meek, Colorado Mountain College "An excellent translation with helpful footnote information and background information. And at a most affordable price for students." -- W. M. Howe, Blue Mountain Community College
