## Description

Il n'y a pas d'effet sans cause, Candide devrait le savoir ! Tout acquis aux leçons de l'optimiste docteur Pangloss - selon qui tout va pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes possibles -, Candide mène une existence heureuse dans le château de Thunder-ten-tronckh. Mais un jour, pour avoir embrassé la belle Cunégonde, il est brutalement chassé de son paradis terrestre. De la Westphalie jusqu'en Turquie, en passant par la Hollande, l'Angleterre, le Portugal et les Amériques, il découvre une réalité odieuse, où la barbarie des hommes n'a d'égale que l'horreur provoquée par les catastrophes naturelles. Instaurant un dispositif satirique d'une méchanceté inouïe à l'encontre des métaphysiques stériles, Voltaire rédige le plus noir mais aussi le plus enjoué de ses contes philosophiques. Le dossier de l'édition réunit les définitions de l'optimisme au XVIIIe siècle, présente la version initiale du chapitre XXII de Candide et, dans un groupement de textes, étudie les différents genres littéraires auxquels emprunte le conte.

Review: A classic - A great read. Funny and thought-provoking, Voltaire's disgust at the cruelty and hypocrisy of European society, of religion and of the laws and morals of his day is present on every page.
Review: Moving - A review of the story of Candide and its meaning can be found elsewhere. This is classic Voltaire, a free scanned text that is more than suitable for reading and enjoying. Possibly one or two mistakes to the text from the scanning but more than adequate, As with most/all such free scans, shortcuts/links to chapters don't work but your reader should keep your place.
