Within a year, Ahmadinejad was out of office and out of favor with the mullahs. Is he in the United States? If he is in the U.S., you shouldn’t broadcast that, for his own safety.” “Salman Rushdie, where is he now?” he said. Ahmadinejad smiled with a glint of malice. In 2012, during the annual autumn gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, I joined a small meeting of reporters with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, and I asked him if the multimillion-dollar bounty that an Iranian foundation had placed on Rushdie’s head had been rescinded. There were times, though, when the lingering threat made itself apparent, and not merely on the lunatic reaches of the Internet. But after settling in New York, in 2000, he lived freely, insistently unguarded. A long time ago, on Valentine’s Day, 1989, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, declared Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses” blasphemous and issued a fatwa ordering the execution of its author and “all those involved in its publication.” Rushdie, a resident of London, spent the next decade in a fugitive existence, under constant police protection. When Salman Rushdie turned seventy-five, last summer, he had every reason to believe that he had outlasted the threat of assassination. The film has since become a cult classic. Released in the United States on December 9, 1983, Christine received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $21 million at the box office. Written by Bill Phillips and based on Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name, the movie follows the changes in the lives of Arnie Cunningham, his friends, his family, and his teenage enemies after he buys a classic red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury (for $250) named Christine, license plate CQB 241, a car that seems to have a mind of its own and a jealous, possessive personality, which has a bad influence on Arnie. The film also features supporting performances from Roberts Blossom and Kelly Preston.

The treatise found wide acceptance, especially around specific circles around Europe. The doctrine is attributed to a German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who published a treatise in 1710 commonly known as Essais de Thodice. Philosophical optimism refers to the notion that the world is the best place to live, all the possible worlds, and that life is worth living. During the enlightenment age, optimism referred to what came to be known as philosophical optimism. The title of the book, Candide: Optimism, is an alternative doublet representing the main character and the central theme of the story. Voltaire provided the alternative title, optimism, for the original book’s title, Candide, for various reasons.Ī key reason for the alternative title by Voltaire is to help its readers connect to the book. As the years progressed and time changed, the translations offered alternative titles to the original title Candide. The book underwent various English translations in 1759, Candide: or, All for the best, in 1762 Candide: or, The Optimist, and finally in 1947, Candide: Optimism. In 1759, Voltaire, a philosopher during the Enlightenment era, published a French satire titled, Candide. |
