«Cándido ou o optimismo» is Voltaire's philosophical novel in Galician, published by Xerais in hardcover (171 pages).
Cándido, a young man raised in a castle in Westphalia, sees his ideal world collapse after being expelled for falling in love with Cunegunda. On a journey through Europe and America, he witnesses wars, shipwrecks and other misfortunes that cast doubt on the optimistic philosophy of his master Pangloss, in a scathing satire against naive optimism and the abuses of his time.
This Galician edition with a translation by Henrique Harguindey is aimed at Galician-speaking readers who want to approach a classic of the French Enlightenment.
