CANDIDE (ARCTURUS ORNATE CLASSICS)

Candide follows the journey of a young man raised in comfort under the guidance of his optimistic tutor, Professor Pangloss. After falling in love with Cunegonde, the daughter of Baron Thunder-ten-Tronkh, Candide is cast out of the castle and launched into a series of remarkable adventures. Through sharp wit and satire, Voltaire playfully critiques the romantic ideals and philosophical optimism of his time. This elegant pocket-sized edition features a facsimile of Voltaire’s signature, gold-gilded page edges and beautifully designed endpapers. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, it is a charming collector’s gift for lovers of classic literature.
