That Candide cover is pretty lurid, but it's actually a great book. I've been thinking about Candide today because I just finished a short story by Roald Dahl called Pig that was actually kind of a tribute to Voltaire - the auntie was named Glosspan (instead of Pangloss), and there were numerous references to things like "the best of all possible worlds."

If you check the website about those "lurid" covers, you'll realize immediately that the webmaster is taking great pleasure in describing at lenght each & every detail on each "lurid" cover, which of course was exactly the purpose of these covers in the first place...
