Candide, ou l'Optimisme (/ËkÃ¦nËdiËd/; French: [kÉÌdid]) is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: or, Optimism (1947).
Like the other characters, Candide is less a realistic individual than the embodiment of a particular idea or folly that Voltaire wishes to illustrate. Candideâs name is derived from the Latin word candidus, which means âwhiteâ and connotes fair-mindedness or a lack of corruption.s that name suggests, Candide begins the novel as a perfect innocentâwide-eyed in his worship of his tutor Panglossâs wrongheaded optimistic philosophy, and completely unfamiliar with the ways of the world.
