Candide [electronic resource] : Or, optimism. Voltaire.
Every lover of classic literature should read Candide , the satirical masterpiece that shocked Paris upon its publication in 1759.

Though widely banned after its publication, it propelled Voltaire to literary stardom and remains one of the most popular French novels ever written.
