Einleitungssatz
"I've read many books," said Professor Mephesto, with an odd finality, wearily flattening his hands on the podium, addressing the seventy-six sophomores who sat in easy reverence, immortalizing his every phrase with their pads and pens, and now, as always, giving him the confidence to slowly, artfully dramatize his words, to pause, shrug, frown, gaze abstractly at the ceiling, allow a wan wistful smile to play at his lips, and repeat quietly, "many books. . ."

Format:Taschenbuch
I read this extraordinary novel about 20 years ago and still thinking it is five stars. I've tried several times to get a copy of the movie that displays a very eclectic cast: Marlon Brando, Ringo Starr, Walther Matthau, John Astin and the unforgettable Ewa Aulin -beautiful- as Candy. I hope Amazon will soon make the effort and put this hilarious film for sale. I will be one of the first buyers, no matter the price.
Format:Taschenbuch
Having read Candide first, reading Candy was purely accidental, a fluke, or perhaps a dare, but part way into the book I recognized its inspiration, and enjoyed it immensely from then on. It is truly hysterical, as was the original Voltaire. Candy, however, includes snippets of ideas from other Classics: read it for yourself to see if you can guess each chapter's parent story. I have enrolled in a course that requires the reading of Candide - I am recommending Candy to the instructor who has never read it!
Format:Taschenbuch
What in the world was this book about? I'm all confused. Indeed it held my interest, but what a bizarre way of doing it. I don't remember recognizing a plot, only lots of sex. I can't say it was either a good or bad read, because honestly I have no idea. It was definitely different and unlike anything I have ever read. But, if you're interested in a quick journey down Weird Street, this novel will absolutely take you there.

candy girl denies that they were inspiration for the book
Candygirl just want you all to know that even though it is eerily accurate, the book about Kate and I by Terry Southern, entitled "Candy," is an UNAUTHORIZED biography.

Good start, but degenerates into total absurdity
This is the best parody yet of a woman's ability to rationalize her own behavior - no matter how absurd the circumstances. I count at least 10 taboos broken in this book. Lesen Sie weiter...
