Candide is a philosophical novel by the French writer Voltaire, published in 1759. The work follows the adventures of a naive young man, Candide, who is indoctrinated into the philosophy of optimism by his tutor, Pangloss. Throughout his travels, Candide witnesses and experiences a series of calamities that test his faith in optimism. Through satire and irony, Voltaire criticizes the philosophy of optimism and explores themes such as the nature of evil, freedom, and the importance of work.
