A review by chuskeyreads
Candide by Voltaire

3.0

Through a series of adventures and disasters, Candide experiences humanity in search of love and happiness.

Candide’s lessons:Beauty is fleeting. Optimism is silly. Wealth does not buy happiness and creates more problems than it solves. Religious leaders and their respective religions are corrupt. Philosophical musings are a waste of time.

The answer? Hard work = happiness.
