Synopsis

The purpose of this book is educational. I have read, studied, and taught Voltaire’s Candide, and I wish to on what I have learned to other people who are interested in studying Voltaire’s Candide. This book uses a question-and-answer format. It poses, then answers, relevant questions about Voltaire, background information, and Candide. I recommend that you read the relevant section of Candide, then read my comments, then go back and re-read the relevant section of Candide. However, do what works for you.
