Appearing in 1759, Candide is a foreboding, ironic, and fierce satire. The protagonist, Candide, is an innocent and good-natured man. Virtually all those whom he meets during his travels, however, are scoundrels or dupes. Candide's naivete is slowly worn away as a result of his contact with the story's rogue elements. The wisdom Candide amasses in the course of his voyages has a practical quality. It entails the fundamentals for getting by in a world that is frequently cruel and unfair. Though well aware of the cruelty of nature, Volitaire is really concerned with the evil of mankind. He identifies many of the causes of that evil in his work: the aristocracy, the church, slavery, and greed. Axel Sowa has chaired the department for architecture theory at RWTH Aachen University since 2007. Susanne Schindler is an assistant professor in the department for architecture theory at RWTH Aachen University.… (altro)
Absolutely hilarious! And although old, the satire could apply to modern times as it could to his. I very rarely reread anything, but this one has received my attention numerous times. I even bought another copy when mine was loaned out. If I weren't afraid that people would cry out at the "spoiler"--it's not really a book of mystery--I'd post the last two paragraphs, which are the most satisfying end to a book I've ever encountered. :)
Spurred by the empty philosphy of those who argued that everything happend for the best, Voltaire presents the tale of Candide, a young man to whom clearly a great many things happened that were not for the best. Voltaire used his open-ended, episodic style to showcase vignettes of calamity and loss in which Candide dutifully, and blindly adheres the the philophy of his instructor, Dr. Pangloss who assures him that everything will work out for the best. Voltaire satirizes optimistic philosophy, as well as the materialistic foibles of mankind. ( )

Norton Critical Editions contain significant additional material. Please do not combine with the main edition for Candide. The critical material is also significantly different between the first and second editions of the NCE. Again, please do not combine.
