I don't think its a tragedy.As per Wiki,Sardonic in outlook, it follows the nave protagonist Candide from his first exposure to the precept that "all is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds," and on through a series of adventures that dramatically disprove that precept even as the protagonist clings to it.

So its a journey of Candide which shakes his optimistic belief but then restores it back again.

I think I will like it then...Have to see though, I mean the flow, the language etc.....Its checked out in our local library..I reserved it and kept..😃..

Raksha ji ,,,, whenever a book is translated some essence is lost .. this is the case with Candide as well . As Tania puts it it is about all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds ... a phrase that stuck in my mind when I read this novel a while back .

Mankind suffers significantly if they do not use this wonderful concept inbuilt in them ....ie of revising the translations of concept every five some years ... It is like reading our own diary after a lull ... dont we see how silly we were back then?😛

Beatifully put together Eggyji..I agree with every word of it...

I was also intrigued by that phrase and that's why got curious about the book
