Synopsis:
Overview
Candide is a short satirical novel (or philosophical tale) in which Voltaire critiques blind optimism, religious hypocrisy, war, and human suffering. It follows the naïve young Candide on a whirlwind journey across the world, as he repeatedly confronts misfortune yet clings (with decreasing certainty) to his tutor Pangloss’s belief that “all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.”
