Voltaire: Candide (1978 series)

Voltaire's Candide is, despite the two and a half centuries that separate us from its composition, a work that is constantly alive and relevant. Voltaire based his story around the fate of a naive young man, gifted with an undying optimism, who wanders the many corners of the world in order to gain knowledge about the essence of our life. On his pilgrimage, he encounters various forms of evil, either by individuals, society or nature itself. The story's mission statement includes a biting satire on the representatives of power, their recklessness and arrogance.br>Now, in addition to the radio play, as a superbly acted 1978 series!
