Om denne lydbog

"Candide" is a satirical novel written by the French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. It was first published in 1759 and is considered one of the most famous works of the Enlightenment era.

The novel tells the story of a young man named Candide, who is optimistic and believes that everything happens for the best in the world. However, he is faced with a series of tragic events, including being banished from his home, witnessing a devastating earthquake, and experiencing war and injustice.

Throughout the novel, Voltaire uses irony, sarcasm, and parody to critique various aspects of society, including religion, philosophy, politics, and human nature. He questions the idea that this is the best of all possible worlds, as espoused by the philosopher Leibniz, and argues that the world is full of suffering and injustice.

Despite its serious themes, "Candide" is also known for its humor and wit. It is filled with absurd characters and events, and its witty satire often takes aim at the hypocrisy and absurdity of society.

Overall, "Candide" is a complex work that explores the human condition and the flaws of society through a combination of tragedy and comedy.
