Hilarious, terrible, classic and therefore modern philosophical tale

Cándido is a novel starring an optimist who firmly believes that the world is a paradise, despite the fact that, from the first line, reality is in charge of denying it. This context gives rise to Voltaire to attack, with irony and sarcasm, Leibniz's theory that we live in "the best of all possible worlds", and to highlight moral defects such as intolerance, religious fanaticism, the abuses of colonization in America, the deceptions and social artifices and the massacres of wars, inviting us to reflect on all of this.

From the hand of Anthony Garner, the text is reinforced by shocking images, full of humor and irony, very direct, with which the message of this indisputable piece of narrative art of the Enlightenment is updated for today's reader.
