This book follows the trials and tribulations of Candide, an optimistic young man, who for his love of Lady Cunegonde gets thrown out of her family's castle. And so he is set on an epic journey that takes him through every aspect of humanity from war, prison and poverty to peace, wealth and freedom. Although Voltaire practically decimates Candide's optimism and lust of both his love and life, he does show that human resilience is something enduring and utterly unbreakable. This was a surprisingly easy read and a very interesting one at that and I'm sure it's one that improves the more it is read.
