# Candide (version 3)

An audiobook by Voltaire, read by LibriVox volunteers (4 h 33 min, English).

Ever since 1759, when Voltaire wrote "Candide" in ridicule of the notion that this is the best of all possible worlds, this world has been a gayer place for readers. Voltaire wrote it in three days, and five or six generations have found that its laughter does not grow old. - Summary by Philip Littell
