Story1
Pangloss would have been right at home in a post-truth, social media world. You can imagine the tweets, “I was hanged and survived #soggyrope,” or, “#nosyphilisnochocolate.” Candide, written in 1759, was never more relevant than today. Blind obeisance and denial, barbarous villainy, greed, and rapacity, are all in a day’s toil for the young Candide. And this is in the best of all possible worlds!

Story0
Voltaire, einer der schärfsten Denker der Aufklärung, veröffentlichte Candide im Jahr 1759 – ein Jahr, das nicht zufällig gewählt war. Europa war erschüttert vom Siebenjährigen Krieg, das Erdbeben von Lissabon 1755 hatte die metaphysischen Fundamente der Theodizee erschüttert, und die katholische Kirche stand zunehmend unter intellektuellem Beschuss. In diesem Kontext entfaltet Candide seine subversive Kraft: als satirischer Roman, als philosophisches Pamphlet und als literarisches Meisterwerk. Im Zentrum der Erzählung steht die Figur des Dr.

This is the tale of the happy but ill-fated Candide and his progressive disillusionment with the idea that we live in the best of all possible worlds. His tutor, Dr. Pangloss, embodies this philosophy of good cheer, even in the face of ever more absurd misfortunes. Luckily, Candide's other companions provide an over-supply of good sense.

Candida is a witty and thought-provoking comedy by the renowned playwright George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1898 as part of his collection, Plays Pleasant. The story revolves around clergyman James Morell, his spirited wife Candida, and the earnest young poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who seeks to capture her heart. Through this captivating narrative, Shaw challenges Victorian ideals of love and marriage, exploring the deeper desires of women in a patriarchal society. With Morell as a Fabian Socialist, Shaw seamlessly integrates the political climate of his time into the fabric of the play, ...

Candide är en ung rik slyngel som bor i ett stort slott någonstans i Tyskland. Han är en optimistisk person, som i hela sitt liv fått precis vad han velat ha. När han ertappas med att kyssa sin släkting, den sköna Kunigunda, blir han dock utslängd från sitt hem. Det som sedan följer är en lång och svår resa, som går genom fångenskap, tvångsvärvning till den Bulgariska armén. Kriget som sedan följer är svårt och våldsamt, där slakt och krigsbrott hör till vardagen.

Story0
Candide by Voltaire. Candide, by Voltaire, is a satirical novella published in 1759 that critiques philosophical optimism, particularly the idea that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds". The story follows the naive protagonist, Candide, as he endures a series of horrific and absurd misfortunes, leading him to reject his tutor Pangloss's optimistic teachings and ultimately conclude that the key to happiness is to "cultivate one's garden". It is a sharp, witty, and often dark satire of religion, government, philosophy, and human nature.

Story3
Candide, is a French satire written in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. One of the finest satires ever written, this lively tale follows the absurdly melodramatic adventures of the youthful Candide, who is forced into the army, flogged, shipwrecked, betrayed, robbed, separated from his beloved Cunégonde, and tortured by the Inquisition. As Candide witnesses calamity upon calamity, he becomes disillusioned and discovers that all is not always for the best....

When Candide is cast out of his sheltered life, he embarks on a journey filled with war, natural disasters, betrayal, and heartbreak—all while clinging to the optimistic philosophy of his mentor, Pangloss. As he travels across Europe and the Americas, encountering a bizarre array of characters and suffering the harsh realities of life, Candide’s faith in idealism is repeatedly tested. In this classic satire, Voltaire skewers the pretensions of philosophy, religion, and social systems, offering a compelling critique of human nature.

Story0
As soon as it was published in 1759, Voltaire's Candide was condemned for its hardly veiled attacks against religion and governments. The plot is a parody of the bildungsroman: Candide and his tutor Pangloss travel around the world convinced that "All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds." Nevertheless, all the experiences and adventures they go through teach them the exact opposite.

Candide is characterized by its tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical, and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious coming-of-age narrative, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is bitter and matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

Candide is a relentless, brutal assault on government, society, religion, education, and, above all, optimism. Dr. Pangloss teaches his young students Candide and Cunegonde that everything in this world is for the best, a sentiment they cling to as the world steps in to teach them otherwise. The novel is brilliant, hilarious, blasphemous. . . and Voltaire never admitted to writing it!

In Candide oder Der Optimismus zieht Voltaire mit spitzer Feder gegen den naiven Weltglauben seiner Zeit zu Felde. Der junge Candide durchlebt Krieg, Erdbeben, Inquisition, Raub, Betrug – und bleibt dabei stets seinem optimistischen Lehrsatz treu. Doch die Realität holt ihn ein. Und Voltaire? Der malt ein düsteres, oft komisches und radikal kritisches Bild der Welt – in einer Novelle, die ebenso philosophisch wie unterhaltsam ist.
