Candide and Related Texts

Candide, the quintessential innocent, has been taught by his tutor, Pangloss, that all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. Gradually, Candide and his beloved, Cunegonde, learn--as they travel through a world peopled with evil characters and various cruelties--the limits of Pangloss`s philosophy. Voltaire`s great comic masterpiece is a satire of the doctrine of optimism, which Voltaire sees as a blind acceptance of human misery. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
