Candido O El Optimismo

"Candide tells the misadventures of an optimistic traveler who desperately clings to the Leibnizian belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." Cruel, funny and at times outrageous, the immortal tale of the French philosopher takes Candidte on a journey around the world to discover that ...contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor, Dr. Pangloss...Not everything always happens for the best. A work that, in the form of satire, proposes a deep reflection on the lessons learned from the human experience whose message is still fully valid for the 21st century reader."--Publisher description.
