Sobre IBD

A sharp and witty satire, Candide follows the misadventures of its titular character as he journeys across the world, encountering war, corruption, and human folly. Raised to believe in unwavering optimism, he is repeatedly confronted with harsh realities that test his faith in the philosophy that 'all is for the best.' With biting humor and keen philosophical insight, Voltaire’s classic novel remains a timeless critique of blind idealism and the absurdities of society.
