Plongez dans Candide ou l'Optimisme, le roman satirique le plus célèbre de Voltaire, où l’innocence se heurte à la cruauté du monde. Suivez Candide, un jeune homme bercé par l’optimisme de son maître Pangloss, dans une aventure effrénée à travers l’Europe, l’Amérique et l’Orient. Guerres, tremblements de terre, trahisons et rencontres improbables jalonnent son parcours, l’obligeant à remettre en question sa vision naïve du monde.

Candide è in grande difficoltà. Afflitto da una serie infinita di tragiche sfortune, riesce comunque a tenere la testa alta, rimanendo caparbiamente aggrappato alla promessa del filosofo Leibniz per la quale il mondo in cui viviamo è il migliore dei mondi possibili. "Candide", la celebre e pungente satira di Voltaire del 1959, ha un ritmo frenetico, è caustico e fa sbellicare dalle risate, ma al contempo contiene un'esplorazione magistrale della filosofia, della religione, del pregiudizio e della crudeltà del cieco ottimismo.

Un viaggio tragicomico nei luoghi e nei riti del divertimento italiano. "Ci sono cose che non fareste mai. Così dite: né ora né mai. Affollare uno studio televisivo con i fan di Baudo, per esempio. Sgomitare in autogrill durante l'esodo delle vacanze. Mettersi in coda per il giro della morte sulle montagne russe. Affrontare il pigia pigia per il film di Natale, ma anche per la Notte Bianca. E poi succede che vi ritrovate dentro le cose che non fareste mai. A tutti, prima o poi, succede. È il momento in cui ci si chiede se ci si sente un po' stupidi. E la risposta è: no".
