Synopsis

After being expelled from a sheltered paradise, the naively optimistic Candide endures a catastrophic globetrotting journey of war, shipwreck, and catastrophe that hilariously dismantles the belief that “all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.”

About Voltaire

Voltaire (1694–1778)—the pen name of François-Marie Arouet—was the quintessential wit and provocateur of the French Enlightenment. A fearless critic of religious fanaticism, institutional tyranny, and intellectual dogmatism, his razor-sharp essays, plays, and philosophical satires—most famously his blistering masterpiece Candide—helped define the modern spirit of free speech, tolerance, and humanism.
