«Cándido» is Voltaire's philosophical novel, published by Editorial Debate (152 pages, in Spanish).
Originally published in 1759, it tells the story of Cándido, a young man educated by Pangloss in the idea that everything happens for the best in the best of all possible worlds. After suffering numerous misfortunes on his travels, Cándido questions his master's optimism. Voltaire thus satirises Leibniz's philosophy.
For readers of Enlightenment classics and philosophical satires.
