More about the book

The narrative follows Candide, a young man whose idyllic existence is shattered, leading him on a journey filled with suffering and disillusionment. Under the influence of his optimistic mentor, Professor Pangloss, Candide initially believes in a perfect world. However, as he confronts harsh realities, his perspective shifts. Ultimately, Voltaire promotes a pragmatic philosophy through Candide's realization that personal effort and cultivation of one's own life are more valuable than blind optimism.
