Unbelievably boring book criticizing a philosophy that no modern person has heard of and that no one would believe anymore.
Voltaire challenges the idea that "This is the best of all possible worlds"

Una lectura molt divertida, un clàssic fàcil i ràpid de llegir però molt ben escrit i una lectura essencial. Encara que és una mica catastrofista, ens ensenya que la majoria de vegades val més esperar el pitjor de qualsevol situació o, al menys, no esperar sempre el millor.

I'm a babe that usually reads magical realism and contemporary fiction so this was a little outside my usual tastes. it was an interesting look at the general vibes in the 1700s and what is considered to be a classic. did I learn much? kinda. did I enjoy it? not really. obviously this was revolutionary thinking back in the day but now it's giving yt boy discovering empathy.
I can't believe I waited so many years to read this. Brilliant satire. Love it.

"Le souper fut comme la plupart des soupers de Paris; d'abord du silence, ensuite un bruit de paroles qu'on ne distingue point, puis des plaisanteries dont la plupart sont insipides, de fausses nouvelles, de mauvais raisonnemens [sic], un peu de politique et beaucoup de médisance"
