«Candide» is Voltaire's philosophical novel, published by Hachette in paperback (in French).
Voltaire satirises the optimistic philosophy that holds that this is the best of all possible worlds. Candide, his young protagonist, travels through a world marked by injustice, suffering and hypocrisy, while the author attacks the social and political institutions of his time and the ideas that justify the status quo.
The work was first published in 1759; the Hachette French-language edition dates from 2007.
For readers of French literary classics and philosophical satires.
