Candide — Voltaire’s tale, printed clandestinely in 1759
A philosophical tale published clandestinely under a pseudonym and without a printer’s name, sent in secret to Paris and Amsterdam. Its success was such that it was reprinted some fifteen times in that same year, in counterfeits copying even its title page. (Editorial synthesis)
