2022 Reprint of the 1918 Edition. Candide, first published in 1759, is Voltaire's classic tale of disillusionment and eventual reconciliation with the vagaries of life. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an bucolic Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes Candide by advocating a deeply practical precept, we must cultivate our garden, in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, which is all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
