About Candide
Voltaire's 1759 Candide is the perfect philosophical tale — 30,000 words dismantling Leibnizian optimism ('the best of all possible worlds') through earthquake, auto-da-fé, slavery, and war, ending with the most famous conclusion in French literature: 'il faut cultiver notre jardin.' The supreme comedy of ideas in any language.
