the Petrograd intelligence. Young girls fell in
love with him. Many of them wrote him love poems.

references, and its simultaneous humor and
pessimism were quite new in English literature.

his small eyes roll side to side slowly and

Coat Of Arms Human Nature

While Voltaires Candide is heavily characterized
by the primary concerns of the Enlightenment, it
also criticizes certain aspects of the movement.
It attacks the strain of optimism, religion,
women, nobility, and colonialism. The name of the
barony, Thunder-ten- trench, a guttural name that
sounds almost primitive, mocks pretensions of
nobility. It is not an especially rich barony, as
the castle boasts few luxuries, and the baron
wastes much of his time in idle frivolities. He
lives off the labo...
