Sinopse

The novel follows the journey of a young man named Candide, who is taught by his tutor Pangloss that everything in the world is for the best and that we live in "the best of all possible worlds". However, after being expelled from his wealthy family's home and experiencing a series of misfortunes, Candide begins to question this philosophy. Throughout the novel, Candide travels across Europe and South America, encountering various characters and experiencing a wide range of disasters, including war, natural disasters, and disease. Despite the many tragedies he faces, Candide remains optimistic and hopeful, clinging to the belief that everything will eventually turn out for the best. Candide is a biting critique of the philosophy of optimism, as well as an exploration of the nature of human suffering and the pursuit of happiness. It is a novel that remains relevant today, offering readers a thought-provoking and entertaining look at the human condition. Read in English, unabridged.
