<p><i>Candide</i> by <b>Voltaire</b> follows its hero as he emerges from a sheltered life, where he understood everything happens for the best, into the world, where things are rarely so pleasant. A witty entertainment saturated with satirical stabs at philosophy, religion, government and humanity in general, <i>Candide</i> is a transformative classic and the author's finest work.</p>
