Viac o knihe

The naïve Candide is literally kicked out of his childhood home when unfairly accused of sexual attentions towards his idol Lady Cunégonde. Yet Pangloss, the learned philosopher, has taught him the positive notion that all is for the best. And throughout his hilarious adventures and misfortunes, 'Candide' remains true to Pangloss's creed, even when faced with ridiculous examples of injustice, suffering and despair. His incessant optimism appears to be justified in El Dorado, a Utopian land in which money and possessions are deemed worthless, yet ironically Candide is restless to leave this ideal society in search of worldly fulfilment.
