Synopsis
Est-il raisonnable d'être optimiste ? Candide vient à se poser la question après que le baron Thunder-ten-tronckh l'a chassé de chez lui, d'un coup de pied au derrière... Adieu la belle Cunégonde, le château de Westphalie et autres satisfactions matérielles ! Commence alors un grand voyage, initiation aux horreurs du monde : guerre, tremblement de terre, gouvernement autoritaire et sévices infligés aux femmes, le tour de la planète se transforme en un répertoire des actes d'inhumanité. De quoi en sortir plus averti - donc moins candide - et plus philosophe... L'accompagnement critique présente les caractéristiques du conte philosophique et invite à réfléchir sur le rapport entre fiction et combat politique. Un groupement de textes sur l'idée de tolérance présente des pages exemplaires, depuis Thomas More jusqu'à Albert Cohen. Un index commenté de tous les personnages de Candide - ils sont trente-six dans trente chapitres ! - constitue un repère précieux pour l'œuvre de Voltaire. Conte philosophique (XVIIIe siècle) recommandé pour les classes de lycée. Texte intégral.
