Candide: Or, Optimism (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

With its vibrant new translation, perceptive introduction, and witty packaging, this new edition of Voltaireâ€™s masterpiece belongs in the hands of every reader pondering our assumptions about human behavior and our place in the world. Candide tells of the hilarious adventures of the naÃ¯ve Candide, who doggedly believes that â€œall is for the bestâ€ even when faced with injustice, suffering, and despair. Controversial and entertaining, Candide is a book that is vitally relevant today in our world pervaded byâ€”as Candide would sayâ€”â€œthe mania for insisting that all is well when all is by no means well.â€
