"Daido Moriyama (Experts from the original text of Record No.27)rdquo;Thats because it surely is easy to release the shutter button and take pictures; but that consious sense of distance that hovers in the space between the photographer and the photographed always contains some severe and delicate issues beyond imagination.rdquo; -DAIDO MORIYAMA (Experts from the original text of Record No.27) The photos included in rdquo;RECORD : No.27"are all taken in Hong Kong in March 2014.

It is very tongue-in-cheek. and a must read for anyone who enjoys classic/world literature. Voltaire holds back zero punches in this work. and his condemnation of politics. war. religion. and social status drips through the pages. For just an example of also how brutal Voltaire gets within this work. there is a passage where Candide asks. ldquo;But what did she die of...was it from seeing me chased from their beautiful castlehellip;?rdquo; And the response he gets is like a round-house kick to Candidersquo;s moronic Disney like world view. ldquo;No...She was disembowelled by Bulgar Soldiers...rdquo; There is more to the passage. but my point is there are many moments like this through the work where Candide has this beautiful idea of how the world is supposed to be. and then his perceptions are shattered in some pretty horrific ways. There are zero dull moments in this work. but it is also a very quick read. All of the horrors. and comedy (this is def a dark comedy) leads to a well thought out point. I wonrsquo;t spoil it here for other readers. but the ending is actually a happy one. Voltaire illustrates superb writing skills within the simple fact that he can write about such insane and gruesome events throughout almost the whole book. but end the whole dark sandwich with a peaceful. almost Zen like calm. I give this little book five out of five stars.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One of the best satiresBy tkI have read Candide before. Without hesitation. I claim it is one of the two best satires Ive read in my life (the other being A Connecticut Yankee by Mark Twain). I was looking for more work by Voltaire and once I saw this book on my suggestions only for $5. I jumped on it. This book not only has Candide and Zadig. his two major stories. but a lot of shorter satires that are as brilliant as the novels. Voltaire. in 18th century France. was a prolific satirical writer and defender of civil liberties and freedom of thought.Voltaire rips on the aristocracies around the world (not just French!). religion. ignorance and male-dominance; and uplifts liberty. freedom of thought and speech and the scientific method by a "series of unfortunate events" that the protagonist goes through. His subtle wit and satire leave a much stronger mark on the reader than the contemporary empty. loud and goofy comedies. The stories are not just philosophical rants about the authors opinion. rather he exposes the weaker sides of the eras social/religious beliefs. and leaves the interpretation and "moral of the story" to the reader.If you are looking for a hearty laugh. that is also intellectually stimulating. I strongly recommend this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cultiver nos jardinsBy Jon D. Zern. DVMI read this primarily to improve my French reading skills and of course to expose myself to more philosophy. Interesting read and of course. as in all philosophy. induces one to think what is the meaning of life?
