Published in 1759, "Candide" by Voltaire quickly became a bestseller and is now a cornerstone of Enlightenment literature. This philosophical tale weaves together entertaining adventures and deeper reflections on human folly and intolerance. Through the journey of the hopeful young man Candide, who faces a series of devastating misfortunes, Voltaire parodies traditional narratives to craft a witty allegory of optimism and disillusionment.
