A review by daaan
Candide and Other Works by Voltaire

3.0

The version I read contained Candide/The Ingenus/Zadig/Nanine, listed in descending order of merit. Candide is an excellent story with a good "moral" (don't assume others are happy for all their status, instead learn to be happy where you are). The ingenu is a raucous description and criticism of french society. Zadig is a hopelessly naive tale of enlightenment delusions. Nanine is a pedestrian polemic against distinctions of class.
