One of the great works of Western literature, Voltaire's Candide is a picaresque tale with profound philosophical underpinnings. Its plot, which sees the eponymous hero experience one calamity after another, elegantly delineates Voltaire's belief that no matter what may befall us, 'all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.'
