Candide is a philosophical novel by the French writer and philosopher Voltaire, published in 1759. The novel follows the misadventures of a young man named Candide, who is indoctrinated into the philosophy of optimism by his tutor, Professor Pangloss. Throughout his travels, Candide witnesses and experiences a series of calamities that test his belief in the 'best of all possible worlds'. Through satire and irony, Voltaire criticizes complacency, social injustice, and the hypocrisy of the institutions of his time.
