Candide by Voltaire

Candide by Voltaire

Candide (1759) was one of Voltaire's most characteristic, philosophical tales. The eponymous young hero and his friends move through a series of tortures, tragedies and reversals of fortune, in the company of Pangloss, a metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo- nigologist' of unflinching optimism. The result is one of the glories of eighteenth-century satire.

Voltaire, pseudonym of Francois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), French satirist, novelist, historian, poet, dramatist, polemicist, moralist and critic, was a genius of the Enlightenment. Welcomed in the free-thinking circles of Parisian society, he was committed to the Bastille for his satires in 1717-18, and again exiled to England in 1726-29. The remainder of his life was divided between long periods of retreat in the provinces and brief returns to metropolitan centres.
