Candide, published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant best seller and is now regarded as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. Voltaire’s preoccupations with evil and with various kinds of human folly and intolerance found a perfect vehicle in the philosophical tale. A master storyteller, he combined often wildly entertaining action with profoundly serious sense, parodying the traditional chivalric and oriental tales with which his public was more familiar to create a witty allegory of a young man whose optimism gives way to disillusionment after a series of terrible misfortunes.

Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time


Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.

Witty Satire • Philosophical Commentary • Exceptional Narration • Timeless Humor • Engaging Adventure • Perfect Pacing

Always good to read the classics. An interesting tale that helps one appreciate the journey in which life takes us. The good and the bad got us to where we find ourselves today.

Where does Candide (AudioGO Edition) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Candide ranks fairly high on the list. It is what it is, enjoyable story with its ironic absurdities and yet it has the ability to make you think.

What other book might you compare Candide (AudioGO Edition) to and why?

This story really is incomparable with anything I have read. I think what I like about it is that it is so different from my usual choice of literature. I seemed to keep waiting to see what misfortune the poor Candide would walk into next and wondered how long the poor fellow could keep up his optimism or if he simply was just "that" naive!

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when he realized his lady love was still alive and well and upon realization they both fainted!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

hard to really pin down one spot, as there were several moments that ran a gambit of emotions from annoyance to disgust to humor. It was just simply a fun read.

Any additional comments?

It has been years since I have read Candide and it was well worth listening to Jack Davenport tell the tale. It was a very enjoyable listen.

This novel is so brilliantly clever and hysterically funny. Almost nothing written today compares. Jack Davenport’s character voices are a laugh riot.
