Summary
CANDIDE:
Candide is a central work of the Enlightenment, written as a coming-of-age novel that follows an optimist convinced the world is a paradise, even as reality insists otherwise. With this satire, Voltaire transforms three years marked by historical disasters—the Lisbon earthquake and the Seven Years’ War—into sharp literary critique, targeting Leibniz’s doctrine that we live in “the best of all possible worlds.”
