Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet in 1694,
was one of the most prolific writers of the French Enlightenment until his
death in 1778.
Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone,
as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque
novel, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which
are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact.Brought up in the
household of a powerful Baron, Candide is an open-minded young man, whose
tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that 'all is for the best'.
But when his love for the Baron's rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered, Candide is
cast out to make his own way in the world.
