Title: A Philosophical Adventure
Product review: I actually read this book thanks to a recommendation from Kurt Vonnegut (via "For the Love of Books"). Candide was almost like Siddartha meets Shangri La. During Candide's worldwide adventure seeking his one true love, he is regaled by the disturbing tales of many world-weary travelers and troubled by his own unfortunate circumstances. Thus, Candide's original philosophical views are challenged. When the adventures end and the characters are reunited in a sort of melancholy, the most simple outlook on life allows them to be the most content. Voltaire packs a punch in under 100 pages with a fast-paced satire-laden adventure that maintains its relevance 250 years after it was written.
