Candide; Eli, Avosydämisen ja vilpittömän nuoren miehen ihmeelliset seikkailut
"Candide; Eli, Avosydämisen ja vilpittömän nuoren miehen ihmeelliset seikkailut" by Voltaire is a satirical novella first published in 1759. A sheltered young man named Candide lives in paradise, taught by his mentor Professor Pangloss that all is for the best in this "best of all possible worlds." When catastrophe strikes, Candide embarks on a harrowing journey through a world filled with disaster, suffering, and absurdity. Through biting satire and dark humor, Voltaire
challenges philosophical optimism while skewering religion, governments, and prevailing ideas of his Enlightenment era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
