About this listen
Candide, published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant best seller and is now regarded as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. Voltaire’s preoccupations with evil and with various kinds of human folly and intolerance found a perfect vehicle in the philosophical tale. A master storyteller, he combined often wildly entertaining action with profoundly serious sense, parodying the traditional chivalric and oriental tales with which his public was more familiar to create a witty allegory of a young man whose optimism gives way to disillusionment after a series of terrible misfortunes.

Over the top
Entertaining, but a bit too ridiculous by today’s stands. Still, quite short and worth the listen.

Almost on the same level as the Alchemist
If I could produce a movie, this would be the one! A perfect analysis of Man and Life. In a world filled with theoretical optimism, it’s important not to ignore the potential harsh realities of life in our assessments.
