Candide (version 2) by Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
Candide is a relentless, brutal assault on government, society, religion, education, and, above all, optimism. Dr. Pangloss teaches his young students Candide and Cunegonde that everything in this world is for the best, a sentiment they cling to as the world steps in to teach them otherwise. The novel is brilliant, hilarious, blasphemous. . . and Voltaire never admitted to writing it.
Best reading of the best satire

It’s not the first time I’ve listened to this version of candied and was thrilled to find it on here so I could play it in my car. The reader really brings the characters alive with his voices and his narration follows the story’s tone beat for beat. I especially love his voice for Pangloss. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys comedy and can bare some gallows humor.
