Élevé par les Indiens du Canada et récemment arrivé en France, l'Ingénu s'efforce de comprendre une société qui ne cesse de l'étonner. "Car, n'ayant rien appris dans son enfance, il n'avait point appris de préjugés. Son entendement, n'ayant point été courbé par l'erreur, était demeuré dans toute sa rectitude. Il voyait les choses comme elles sont, au lieu que les idées qu'on nous donne dans l'enfance nous les font voir toute notre vie comme elles ne sont point." Adoptant le regard du héros, le lecteur est amené à remettre en question l'ordre social établi.

Chef-d’œuvre du grand écrivain et philosophe Voltaire, Candide, ou l'Optimisme, publié en 1759, est un conte qui suit les aventures de Candide, un jeune homme naïf, élevé dans une vision du monde optimiste. Ce principe de l'optimisme, enseigné par son mentor Pangloss, est sans cesse mis à l'épreuve dans une série de catastrophes et de malheurs : guerres, tremblements de terre, naufrages, et trahisons, dont la guerre de Sept Ans et le séisme de 1755 à Lisbonne.

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!

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.

Zadig o el destino, es una famosa novela y la obra de ficción filosófica escrita por el filósofo de la Ilustración Voltaire. Cuenta la historia de Zadig, un filósofo de la antigua Babilonia. El autor no intenta ningún rigor histórico, y algunos de los problemas de Zadig son referencias apenas disimuladas de los problemas sociales y políticos de la época de Voltaire. El libro es de naturaleza filosófica, y presenta la vida humana como en las manos de un destino más allá del control humano.
