A strange, satirical, over-the-top philosophical book following the travels of Candide as he searches for a way to be with his beloved Lady Cunegonde. Philosophical themes such as optimism, pessimism, and pragmatism are woven into the novel, and the absurdities that occur amidst their cruel world really bring these philosophical ideas to light. Is everything for the best? Can everywhere eventually achieve a status such as Eldorado's? Or is life just boredom and suffering?
