«Cándido el ingenuo» is the volume of philosophical novels by Voltaire, published by Club Internacional del Libro in hardback (195 pages).
It brings together two novels by Voltaire: in «Cándido», a young man schooled in philosophical optimism travels through a world full of misfortunes that disprove the idea that everything happens for the best; «El ingenuo» sets its protagonist's natural outlook against social conventions. Both use satire to reflect on the human condition.
Published in 1983 in the Grandes Genios de la Literatura Universal collection (no. 31).
For readers of philosophical fiction, Enlightenment satire, and French classics.
