In this work, Voltaire gives literary and critical form to three years of terrible historical events, such as the Lisbon earthquake and the Seven Years' War. Through the story of Candide, an optimist who faces a reality full of adversities, Voltaire ironically criticizes intolerance, fanaticism, the abuses of European colonization in America, social deceptions, and wars. This edition includes a translation and introductory study by Maura Armiño.
