Originalni opis knjige
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) „Candide“ is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in „the best of all possible worlds.“ On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that – contrary to the teachings of his distringuished tutor Dr. Pangloss – all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, „Candide“ has become Voltaire's most celebrated work.
