VOLTAIRE - CANDIDE
A
philosophical novel may be an unlikely bestseller, but
this Voltaire classic is a fun read, so it's no surprise
it's sold so well since its first publication in 1759.
Candide
certainly gets around, and is a figure we can warm to,
ditto his optimistic friend, Dr. Pangloss.
There
is a Pythonesque feel to Candide's adventures, but you
can certainly learn a lot from them!
