Amazon.com ReviewPolitical satire doesn't age well, but occasionally a diatribe contains enough art and universal mirth to survive long after its timeliness has passed. Candide is such a book. Penned by that Renaissance man of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, Candide is steeped in the political and philosophical controversies of the 1750s. But for the general reader, the novel's driving principle is clear enough: the idea (endemic in Voltaire's day) that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and apparent folly, misery and strife are actually harbingers of a greater good we cannot perceive, is hogwash. Telling the tale of the good-natured but star-crossed Candide (think Mr. Magoo armed with deadly force), as he travels the world struggling to be reunited with his love, Lady Cunegonde, the novel smashes such ill-conceived optimism to splinters. Candide's tutor, Dr. Pangloss, is steadfast in his philosophical good cheer, in the face of more and more fantastic misfortune; Candide's other companions always supply good sense in the nick of time. Still, as he demolishes optimism, Voltaire pays tribute to human resilience, and in doing so gives the book a pleasant indomitability common to farce. Says one character, a princess turned one-buttocked hag by unkind Fate: "I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most melancholy propensities; for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one's very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away"--Michael Gerber Candide (operetta) - Wikipedia Candide is an operetta with music composed by Leonard Bernstein based on the novella of the same name by Voltaire The operetta was first performed in 1956 with a Candide de Voltaire - aLaLettre Candide de Voltaire sur alalettre site ddi la littrature biographie oeuvre auteurs philosophie Candide Wikipdia Candide ou l'Optimisme est un conte philosophique de Voltaire paru Genve en janvier 1759 Il a t rdit vingt fois du vivant de lauteur [n 1] ce qui SparkNotes: Candide From a general summary to chapter summaries to explanations of famous quotes the SparkNotes Candide Study Guide has everything you need to ace quizzes tests and Candide - Wikipedia Candide ou l'Optimisme (/ k n d i d /; French: ) is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment The Home - New York City Opera NYCO's mission is to inspire audiences with innovative and theatrically compelling opera Official site for tickets & info Candide Baby - All collection of the bedroom and baby Candide propose you a wide quality range of products for baby nursery items bedding mattress changing mat cosy bath towels But also for mom with the pillow of Candide - Make our garden grow (Groves/Chenoweth/LuPone Make our garden grow Candide: Paul Groves Cunegonde: Kristin Chenoweth Old Lady: Patti LuPone Dr Pangloss: Sir Thomas Allen Maximilian: Jeff Blumenkrantz SparkNotes: Candide: Plot Overview A short summary of Voltaire's Candide This free synopsis covers all the crucial plot points of Candide Candide - Overture with Leonard Bernstein - YouTube Lenny himself conducts the Overture from Candide with the London Symphony Orchestra The performance is from December 13 1989
