About this book

"Candide ou l'Optimisme" est un conte philosophique de Voltaire paru à Genève en janvier 1759. Il a été réédité vingt fois du vivant de l’auteurn, ce qui en fait un des plus grands succès littéraires français.Candide est un jeune garçon vivant au château du baron de Thunder-ten-tronckh qui se trouve en Westphalien. Il a pour maître Pangloss, philosophe qui enseigne la«métaphysico-théologo-cosmolonigologie», et qui professait, à l'instar de Leibniz, que l'on vit dans le meilleur des mondes possibles. Candide est chassé de ce meilleur des mondes possibles à la suite d'un baiser interdit échangé avec Cunégonde, la fille du Baron. Candide découvre alors le monde, et va de déconvenue en déconvenue sur les chemins d'un long voyage initiatique. François-Marie Arouet, dit Voltaire, né le 21 novembre 1694 à Paris, ville où il est mort le 30 mai 1778 (à 83 ans), est un écrivain et philosophe français qui a marqué le xviiie siècle et qui occupe une place particulière dans la mémoire collective française et internationale.
