What is Candide? The shortest, funniest, and most famous tale of the Enlightenment. Condemned in several countries at the time of its publication for indecency and insolence, and forbidden by Diderot for his daughter to read, today it tops the best-seller lists of classic literature. It is performed in theaters, set to music, attracts illustrators, and inspires filmmakers.
