Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Though he's the illegitimate nephew of a German baron, Candide grows up in a castle under the tutelage of the scholar Pangloss. Pangloss is so enraptured by the Enlightenment--an era of prosperity and intellectual growth--that he proclaims the world to be "the best of all possible worlds." As an adult, Candide tries to cling to this optimistic philosophy despite experiencing a series of horrible misfortunes while striving to be reunited with the woman he loves. The French novel Candide satirizes the philosophies of the Enlightenment and humorously criticizes the nobility, religious viewpoints, and politics of the time. Voltaire--the pen name of French author François-Marie Arouet--first published his satire in 1759. This is an unabridged version of an English translation, published in 1918.

Excerpt provided by Syndetics

There lived in Westphalia, at the country seat of Baron Thunderten-tronckh, a young lad blessed with the most agreeable manners. He combined sound judgement with unaffected simplicity; and that, I suppose is why he was called Candide. --Excerpt In this witty political satire, a gentle man plagued by misfortune clings to the belief that all is for the best. Voltaire mocks the eternal optimist philosophy of his day that proclaimed human and natural disasters are a part of a larger cosmic plan.
