About this ebook
Voltaire's "Candide" is one of the most outrageously hilarious satire ever wrote. If you aren't laughing, however, you are not alone! If you are struggling with the classic work, let BookCaps help.
This book contains a comprehension study of Voltaire’s classic work (including chapter summaries for every chapter, and an overview of themes and characters). This edition does not include the actual satire.
