About the book

Voltaire's Candide follows a naïve young man who has been taught that everything happens for the best in the best of all possible worlds. A succession of wars, disasters, betrayals and absurd adventures steadily destroys this optimistic philosophy. Fast-paced and sharply satirical, the book attacks religious hypocrisy, political cruelty and philosophical complacency while asking how people can live sensibly in an imperfect world.
