Candide
by Voltaire
This is a gold nugget of literature. Although I do not especially like Voltaire's mentality in general, however, this book: Candide, is pure philosophy... in action, as well as in vivid colours! One of the best books for teaching French Literature to Sixth Form. Students love the humour, hyperbole and irony throughout. Everybody should read this short masterpiece that deals of the meaning of life among other themes.
