Candide is a philosophical novel by the French writer Voltaire, originally published in 1759. The work follows the misadventures of Candide, a naive young man who, influenced by the teachings of his tutor Pangloss, believes he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." Throughout his journey, Candide faces cruelty, injustice, and suffering, which leads him to question his initial optimism and seek a more realistic meaning to life.
