Candide is a philosophical novel by the French writer and philosopher Voltaire, first published in 1759. The novel satirizes the philosophy of optimism, which holds that we live in the "best of all possible worlds," and explores themes such as injustice, suffering, and hypocrisy. Through the misadventures of its protagonist, Candide, Voltaire criticizes the social and religious institutions of his time, inviting reflection on the human condition and the pursuit of happiness.
