Sur le point d'épouser la plus belle fille de Babylone, jouissant de tous les privilèges de la jeunesse et de la fortune, vertueux de surcroît, Zadig se demande s'il est possible de vivre heureux ici-bas. Sa fiancée ne tarde pas à la trahir, des fanatiques le traînent en justice, on le menace du bûcher, on le vend comme esclave en Egypte et c'est par miracle qu'il retrouve sa patrie et triomphe de la laideur et de la bassesse du monde.

Story0
Voltaire, einer der schärfsten Denker der Aufklärung, veröffentlichte Candide im Jahr 1759 – ein Jahr, das nicht zufällig gewählt war. Europa war erschüttert vom Siebenjährigen Krieg, das Erdbeben von Lissabon 1755 hatte die metaphysischen Fundamente der Theodizee erschüttert, und die katholische Kirche stand zunehmend unter intellektuellem Beschuss.

Pangloss would have been right at home in a post-truth, social media world. You can imagine the tweets, “I was hanged and survived #soggyrope,” or, “#nosyphilisnochocolate.” Candide, written in 1759, was never more relevant than today. Blind obeisance and denial, barbarous villainy, greed, and rapacity, are all in a day’s toil for the young Candide. And this is in the best of all possible worlds!
