Candide  .  .  .  .  .  VoltaireThis novel is just too ridiculous to be believed. Outlandish situations continually pop up. Every possible sad occurrence, from slight mishaps to major tragedies, are documented in the telling of this tale. Do these sound like complaints?  Well, they're not - at all. I loved this novel. It's my opinion that Voltaire wrote this as a "tongue in cheek"  commentary on the state of our (the world's) society. Sarcasm and humor flowed from his pen to blend into a classic delightHere is a novel written in 1759 that is as enjoyable now as it was then.Everyone should read this book - - - at least once.
