Description
"Candide, or Optimism" is the best-known work of the philosopher, educator, and famous wit Voltaire. A satire on his contemporaries, created during the Seven Years’ War, it has survived for centuries and is now perceived less as a parody of real events than as a philosophical parable about the powerlessness of reason in the face of mass stupidity and greed that lead to armed confrontations—as well as a mockery of those who hope to remain on the sidelines of what’s happening.
