Classique intemporel des Lumières à lire non seulement au lycée parmi les lectures obligatoires ! À travers les mésaventures d’un jeune homme candide confronté à la cruauté aux quatre coins du monde, Voltaire tourne en dérision l’optimisme de Leibniz, selon lequel tout irait pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes. Entre satire mordante et réflexion existentielle, Voltaire y critique les injustices, les dogmes et les absurdités de son époque, tout en interrogeant la quête du bonheur et du sens de la vie. Toujours d'actualité.
