Candide

Voltaire

4 h 5 min · 31 chapters · read by Ted Delorme

Taught by his tutor Pangloss that this is the best of all possible worlds, young Candide is thrown out of a castle and meets war, earthquake, shipwreck and the Inquisition on his way around the world. Voltaire's 1759 satire is quick, savage and very funny, and ends with the advice to cultivate our garden.
