A review by jasoncomely
Kandyd by Voltaire

4.0

I read the Polish version via Readlang while listening to the book via TTS simultaneously, but despite this there are swaths of the story I misunderstood or missed. However, I did manage to catch Voltaire's savage mockery of the beliefs that were (supposedly) prevalent in his day. The teasing he does of Pangloss and his fatalistic-optimistic worldview made me chuckle out loud. I may reread it again in English to clear some things up.
