Candide

"Candide" is a satirical novella by the French philosopher and writer Voltaire, first published in 1759. In this classic work, Voltaire tells the story of a young man named Candide who travels the world in search of love, fortune, and happiness. Along the way, Candide encounters a series of absurd and often tragic events, including war, natural disasters, and human cruelty. Through Candide's misadventures, Voltaire critiques the prevailing optimism of his time, particularly the philosophical notion that this is the best of all possible worlds. With wit and irony, Voltaire exposes the folly of blind optimism and the harsh realities of human existence, ultimately advocating for a more practical and realistic approach to life. "Candide" remains a timeless masterpiece of satire, celebrated for its sharp social commentary, biting humour, and enduring relevance.
