Contra los filósofos y contra Hume, Voltaire escribe su novela Cándido. La teoría de aquellos parte de un sofisma muy notable: siendo Dios perfecto, no puede salir de sus manos una obra imperfecta. Las espantosas y cómicas aventuras de Cándido, que nunca pierde el optimismo, son la ilustración que hace Voltaire contra la teoría mencionada. por supuesto, el nombre del personaje no es casual: es un cándido que cree en su maestro.

Cándido es un clásico del humor; sus aventuras nos apresan el interés y las seguimos aun sin que nos interese particularmente la corriente filosófica idealista. Es una novela que se mantiene en pie por sí misma.

Cándido se lee con gusto a cualquier edad; su tono de novela de aventuras hace a esta obra especialmente grata para los jóvenes. Es un libro que con todo derecho podemos llamar un gran clásico.

Work Description

Brought up in the household of a powerful Baron, Candide is an open-minded young man, whose tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that 'all is for the best'. But when his love for the Baron's rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered, Candide is cast out to make his own way in the world.

And so he and his various companions begin a breathless tour of Europe, South America and Asia, as an outrageous series of disasters befall them - earthquakes, syphilis, a brush with the Inquisition, murder - sorely testing the young hero's optimism.
