Attacking religious hypocrisy, futile philosophy, and naive optimism, Candide is Voltaire's masterpiece. The novella tells of a young, sheltered son of a German baron who is suddenly thrust into an adventure in foreign lands where he experiences and observes several hardships that leave him disillusioned. Its biting satire enhanced by remarkably accurate insights into human nature makes Candide a Western literary classic.
