Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 3 hours 25 minutes

Publisher's Summary:
Candide, published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant bestseller and is now regarded as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. This is a witty allegory of a young man whose optimism gives way to disillusionment after a series of terrible misfortunes. Voltaire’s preoccupations with evil and with various kinds of human folly and intolerance found a perfect vehicle in this philosophical tale. A master storyteller, he combined often wildly entertaining action with profoundly serious sense, parodying the traditional chivalric and oriental tales with which his public was more familiar.
