Candide de Voltaire #1

This first volume of the Candide de Voltaire series adapts Voltaire's classic satirical novel into a graphic novel format, published by Delcourt in 2008. It follows the naive and optimistic Candide as he journeys through a series of absurd and tragic misadventures, challenging the philosophy of Leibnizian optimism. The collection introduces the key characters and sets the stage for the philosophical tale's iconic critique of blind optimism.
