Hi All, Pliz, I am reading "Candide" by Voltaire and I came across a word which I do not understand.
" after the earthquake, which destroyed three-quarters of Lesbon, the country �s leading thinkers decided that the best way of avoiding total destruction of the city was to give the people an auto-da-f�.
What does the word "auto-da-f�" mean in this context?
Thanks in advance |
