A friend gifted the book to me earlier this week because it’s one of his favorites. This was such a wild ride: it’s written so well hence the story moves very rapidly which enables Voltaire to tell such a complex journey in just over 100 pages. Pamela Bedore references Candide as a major text in the history of Utopia/Dystopian literature, and I can see why: what starts off as a satire of determinist optimism becomes an investigation of the dark side of Voltaire’s civilization at the time.
