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.

“"Optimism," said Cacambo, "What is that?" "Alas!" replied Candide, "It is the obstinacy of maintaining that everything is best when it is worst!”
