«Cándido o El optimismo» and «La princesa de Babilonia» are Voltaire's two satirical works, published by Edicomunicación in hardback, in Spanish.
«Cándido o El optimismo» recounts the misadventures of a young man who travels the world and finds that reality contradicts philosophical optimism. «La princesa de Babilonia» satirises courtly love and social conventions. Both pieces combine wit, humour and social criticism of the human condition and the institutions of the era.
Volume published in 1994 in the collection «Grandes Autores Literatura Universal», edited by Professor F. L. Cardona.
For readers of universal classics who appreciate the irony and social criticism of Enlightenment thought.
