These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Candide: Non, dit Pangloss, elle a été éventrée par des soldats bulgares, après avoir été violée autant quon peut lêtre; ils ont cassé la tête à monsieur le baron qui voulait la défendre; madame la baronne a été coupée en morceaux; mon pauvre pupille traité précisément comme sa soeur; et quant au château, il nest pas resté pierre sur pierre, pas une grange, pas un mouton, pas un canard, pas un arbre; mais nous avons été bien vengés, car les Abares en ont fait autant dans une baronnie voisine qui appartenait à un seigneur bulgare....Point du tout, répliqua ce grand homme; cétait une chose indispensable dans le meilleur des mondes, un ingrédient nécessaire; car si Colomb navait pas attrapé dans une île de lAmérique cette maladie[1] qui empoisonne la source de la génération, qui souvent même empêche la génération, et qui est évidemment lopposé du grand but de la nature, nous naurions ni le chocolat ni la cochenille; il faut encore observer que jusquaujourdhui, dans notre continent, cette maladie nous est particulière, comme la controverse. ...Quelques citoyens, secourus par eux, leur donnèrent un aussi bon dîner quon le pouvait dans un tel désastre: il est vrai que le repas était triste; les convives arrosaient leur pain de leurs larmes; mais Pangloss les consola, en les assurant que les choses ne pouvaient être autrement: Car, dit-il, tout ceci est ce quil y a de mieux; car sil y a un volcan à Lisbonne, il ne pouvait être ailleurs; car il est impossible que les choses ne soient pas où elles sont, car tout est bien....On avait en conséquence saisi un Biscayen convaincu davoir épousé sa commère, et deux Portugais qui en mangeant un poulet en avaient arraché le lard: on vint lier après le dîner le docteur Pangloss et son disciple Candide, lun pour avoir parlé, et lautre pour lavoir écouté avec un air dapprobation: tous deux furent menés séparément dans des appartements dune extrême fraîcheur, dans lesquels on nétait jamais incommodé du soleil: huit jours après ils furent tous deux revêtus dun san-benito, et on orna leurs têtes de mitres de papier: la mitre et le san-benito de Candide étaient peints de flammes renversées, et de diables qui navaient ni queues ni griffes; mais les diables de Pangloss portaient griffes et queues, et les flammes étaient droites. ...Agitée, éperdue, tantôt hors de moi-même, et tantôt prête de mourir de faiblesse, javais la tête remplie du massacre de mon père, de ma mère, de mon frère, de linsolence de mon vilain soldat bulgare, du coup de couteau quil me donna, de ma servitude, de mon métier de cuisinière, de mon capitaine bulgare, de mon vilain don Issachar, de mon abominable inquisiteur, de la pendaison du docteur Pangloss, de ce grand miserere en faux-bourdon pendant lequel on vous fessait, et surtout du baiser que je vous avais donné derrière un paravent, le jour que je vous avais vu pour la dernière fois.

"All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds" It was the indifferent shrug and callous inertia that this "optimism" concealed which so angered Voltaire, who found the "all for the best" approach a patently inadequate response to suffering, to natural disasters, not to mention the questions of illness and man-made war. Moreover, as the rebel whose satiric genius had earned him not only international acclaim, but two stays in the Bastille, flogging, and exile, Voltaire knew personally what suffering entailed. In Candide he whisks his young hero and friends through a ludicrous variety of tortures, tragedies, and a reversal of fortune, in the company of Pangloss, a "metaphysico-theologo-comolo-nigologist" of unflinching optimism. The result is one of the glories of eighteenth-century satire. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

The philosophical problem of evil—that a supposedly good God could allow terrible human suffering—troubled the minds of eighteenth-century thinkers as it troubles us today. Voltaire’s classic novel Candide relates the misadventures of a young optimist who leaves his sheltered childhood to find his way in a cruel and irrational world. Fast-paced and full of dark humor, the novel mocks the suggestion that “all is well” and challenges us to create a better world. This Broadview Edition follows the text of a 1759 English translation that was released concurrently with Voltaire’s first French edition. Candide is supplemented by Voltaire’s most important poetic and humanistic writings on God and evil, the Poem upon the Destruction of Lisbon and We Must Take Sides. The editor’s introduction situates the novel in its philosophical and intellectual setting; the appendices include other writings by Voltaire, as well as related writings by Bayle, Leibniz, Pope, Rousseau, and others that place the work in its poetic, philosophical, and humanistic contexts.

Candide, or, Optimism is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with optimism by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory. ) Fiction Fantasy humour satire novel mystery Candide) (Fiction-humour, Fiction-satire) (François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 - 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and separation of church and state.
