"Candide" is Voltaire's philosophical satire and comic novel from 1759. It follows the young Candide and his companions through a series of misfortunes, mocking the belief that this is the best of all possible worlds. It is worth listening to for its wit, brisk storytelling, and sharp critique of blind optimism.
