From the Publisher:
The story of Candide, a young man whose naïve optimism is put to the test, is one of Voltaire's most celebrated works. Falsely accused of a crime, Candide is forced to flee his home and wander the world, confronting its cruelties and injustices. Along the way, he clings to the philosophy that "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds," even as he bears witness to the horrors of war, the vicissitudes of love, and the hypocrisies of society.
Voltaire's renowned satirical voice is at its sharpest in Candide, as he skewers religious dogmatism, philosophical complacency, and political oppression. Yet the novel is more than just a masterful skewering of Enlightenment pieties. It is also a moving and profound meditation on how we find meaning and happiness in a world that so often seems indifferent to human suffering.
Praised for its stylistic brilliance, philosophical depth, and uproarious wit, Candide has inspired generations of readers and writers. This edition, which features an introduction by renowned Voltaire scholar Nicholas Cronk, allows readers to rediscover the timeless brilliance of a classic tale.
Candide is a must-read for anyone interested in the enduring power of satire, the pursuit of happiness, and the eternal questions of the human condition.
