«Candide» is Voltaire's philosophical novel, published by Belin - Gallimard in paperback (192 pages, in French).
Young Candide believes he lives in the best of all possible worlds. After being expelled from the kingdom for kissing Cunégonde, he embarks on a long journey across seas and continents and discovers a world dominated by violence and intolerance, which disprove his optimism. With irony, Voltaire composes a philosophical tale that invites critical thinking.
