Candide (Norton Critical Editions)

Il est un apprentissage des nouvelles et un héros optimiste qui a assimilé les théories de Leibniz providentialisme: aveuglément croit que le monde est un paradis, mais, à partir de la première ligne, la réalité est chargé de le nier.

Wow! Fast-paced, biting, makes-you-wonder-why-you-had-to-be-a-part-of-humanity satire. Read it. It won't take long. Just don't listen to the musical version first.

Satire. Though I agree with Voltaire's premise, satire is best kept short as it makes for bad fiction. This was short but not nearly short enough. The first few chapters would have been enough to refute the idea that we live in the best possible world (and that no, everything does not happen for a reason).
