Candide by Voltaire
5.0

Interesting read but not sure exactly what point the author was making with this work. Accordingly the author is one who writes during the age of “enlightenment”. His protagonist of the story Candide is a young open minded man who goes on an adventure. In the story he circles the globe, sometimes of his own choosing and sometimes not, some good things happen but usually not. One thing is clear, this story could have been written yesterday or several thousand years ago. The earth spins but man always behaves as he always has.
