Brought up in the household of a powerful Baron, Candide is an open-minded young
man, whose tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that 'all is for the
best'. But when his love for the Baron's rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered,
Candide is cast out to make his own way in the world. And so he and his various
companions begin a breathless tour of Europe, South America and Asia, as an
outrageous series of disasters befall them - earthquakes, syphilis, a brush with
the Inquisition, murder - sorely testing the young hero's optimism.
