Candide
Voltaire
Candide is a young man living a paradisaical life, mentored by a tutor, Professor Pangloss. When Candide falls for Cunegonde, the daughter of the Baron Thunder-ten-Tronkh, he is thrown out of the castle, which has been his home, and embarks upon a series of epic adventures. Satirical and witty, Voltaire pokes fun at the classical romantic adventures of the time.

“Even in those cities which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace, and where the arts florish, the inhabitants are devoured by envy, cares and anxieties, which are greater plagues than any experienced in a town when it is under siege.”
