First published in 1759, Voltaire's Candide is a satirical novel that follows the adventures of the optimistic young Candide and his tutor Pangloss as they travel the world. Despite their unwavering belief that "all is for the best," their journey is filled with a series of humorous misadventures that challenge that optimistic outlook. Recognized as a classic of French literature, the book offers an entertaining and thought-provoking parody of Enlightenment ideals.
