Candide
(eBook)
Description
Voltaire's Candide is a sharp and witty satire that follows the naïve and ever-optimistic Candide as he embarks on a whirlwind adventure across the world, facing war, betrayal, disaster, and unexpected fortune. As he struggles to reconcile his unwavering belief that "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds" with the harsh realities of life, Candide's journey becomes a biting critique of blind optimism, religious hypocrisy, and political corruption. A timeless masterpiece of the Enlightenment, this novel remains one of literature's most influential and thought-provoking works, filled with humor, irony, and a deep exploration of human nature.
