2022 Reprint of the 1918 Edition. Candide, first published in 1759, is Voltaire's classic tale of disillusionment and eventual reconciliation with the vagaries of life. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an bucolic Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss.
