by Voltaire (Author)
This classic French satirical novel stands the test of time, remaining relevant even today. Voltaire skewered religion, politics, and intellectual hostility. Take a young man named Candide, and remove him from his Eden-like paradise then show him the hardships of the world and watch his disillusionment progress. While that may not sound funny, the book is laced with humor.
