Candide is a French satire by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply Optimism) by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds".
Candide is characterized by its sarcastic tone, as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.
As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature. It was listed as one of The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written.

Candide edition by By Voltaire Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Good product. The wire is extremely rigid, and get hard to mold to your liking, but it is doable. The hand winding screw handle is pretty sturdy.
This Holder is great for watching long YouTube videos at my chair and in my bed. Really well made and strong. Love it
This phone holder is stronger than I expected. I thought it would be slightly flimsy, but it is actually pretty solid. The only thing is with it being so solid, it is a little stiff to move around and get into position. But once in position, it is very reliable and you don't have to worry it or whatever it is holding slipping or falling out. I use it to watch movies while I lay in bed. I used to hold them with my hand, now I can put my hands anywhere I need them. Hehe. But it!
Product is well made. Grips iPhone very securely, and the bendable neck stays where you leave it. I suggest when bending the neck that you hold it by just the neck, not one hand on the base or balljoint. It takes a lot of force to bend the neck...as it should, and the force may be too much for the base or balljoint.
The material is very solid which is great bc it stays in one place and doesnt move but also is a little too solid meaning its tough to move easy, you have to really give it a tug. I bought one for my oldest birthday gift and will most likely order 2 or 3 more for Christmas gifts bc of how cool and convenient it is.... i love it!
I play on my computer but like my PHONE where I can see it while I play. This is a LIL STIFF !! BUT its a GOOD STIFF !! Strong enough to hold phone where I need it and top swivels . I am HAPPY with this at 63 HOLDS TIGHT to TABLE not wimpy or wiggly SOLID to table to hold my phone .
Can I mention that I love this thing? It's awesome!! I got an adjustable bed and I just wanna lay flat on my back with my feet up and not have to look either direction and I have to hold my arms up to watch my phone. So with this I can just attach it to my table and hanging over my face basically and lay there and watched TV. It's so strong I'm not even worried that it's going to drop on me or drop my phone or anything.
Only have had it for about 1 hour but it works great!
