Set against the backdrop of the Age of Enlightenment, the story follows Candide, a young man raised in an idyllic environment, who faces a harsh reality that challenges his optimistic worldview. As he endures a series of misfortunes, the novella critiques various societal institutions, including religion and government, through sharp satire and allegory. Voltaire's witty narrative culminates in a pragmatic philosophy of self-improvement, advocating for personal responsibility. Banned upon release for its controversial themes, it remains a pivotal work in literature and philosophy.
