Candide: Ou l'Optimisme, Seconde Partie (1760)

Pastiche, imitation but also a continuation of Voltaire's most celebrated tale, Candide, seconde partie, picks up many of the original's themes. Leibniz, Descartes and Newton are gently mocked; Pascal is accused of trying to make us hate humankind. If it cannot begin to compare with Voltaire's masterpiece, the tale is nonetheless an amusing and instructive imitation.
