Bu kadar az sayfada bu kadar çok probleme değinerek güçlü hiciv yeteneğiyle bunları okuyucunun gözünde canlandırması benim için Voltaire'i çok değerli kılıyor. Candide 300 yıl önce yazılmış bu gün değerini koruyan çok önemli bir eser. Kitapta yazılanlar kurgu gibi dursada tüm senaryonun arkası gerçeklikle dolu. İnsanların neler yapabildiğine, ne kadar kötü olabildiğine, bazende ne kadar aptal olabildiğine inanamıyorsunuz. Kısacası kitap felsefi, dini, toplumsal ve siyasi pek çok konuya hiciv yoluyla yaklaşan bir eser. Herkese tavsiye ediyorum. İyi okumalar.

A do-able read.
I am not a huge fan of satire but this book was pretty decent.
I like when I read a book written a long time ago and realize that there was some pretty decent books I was never made to read in school. So with that being said it is not something I would read again and again but the misfortunes of Candide were pretty funny.

Let me start by saying this is a farce and Voltaire wrote it as a criticism of Leibnizian optimism. That's the "best possible worlds" philosophy. He was also doing some anti-trope stuff according to the Crash Course but I didn't really notice until John Green pointed it out.
So much happens in this book so quickly! Candide has a bunch of terrible things happen to him and his friends have terrible things happen to them. And they go on miserably until Candide decides maybe they should just garden. Which is an ending but it's an odd sort of ending. Everyone dying in an elaborate way would have fit better with the action packed plot. This book is on Thomas Jefferson's recommended reading list, if you're into that kind of thing.
Voltaire was an Enlightenment author and his racism is still staggering.
