Candide is the outlaw grandson of a German baron. He grew up in Baron's Castle under the tutelage of the scholar Pangloss, who taught him that the world was "the best it could be." Candide fell in love with the Baron's youngest daughter, Cunégonde. The Baron caught the two kissing and expelled Candide from his house. On his own for the first time, Candide was soon drafted into the Bulgars army.He wandered from the camp for a short walk and was brutally flogged as a fugitive. After seeing the horrific battle, he managed to escape and travel to Holland.

In Holland, a benevolent Anabaptist named Jacques brought Candide in.Candide ran into a crippled beggar and found it to Pangloss.Pangloss explained that he was infected with syphilis, and Cunégonde and her entire family were brutally murdered by the Bulgarian army. Still, he remains optimistic Jacques takes Pangloss with the three traveling to Lisbon together. But before they arrived, their boat was a storm and Jacques drowned.Candide and Pangloss arrived in Lisbon to find it was destroyed by an earthquake and under Inquisition Pangloss was hanged as a heretic in No. Slowly and Candide was flogged to listen, accepting Pangloss' philosophy.After his beating, the old woman wore Candid's wounds.He then took him to Cunegonday in surprise. Cunégonde explains that even though Bulgars killed the rest of her family. But she was just raped and captured by a captain who sold her to a Jew named Don Isaachar.She is now a sex slave jointly owned by Don Isaachar and the Grand Inquisitor of Lisbon, Cunégonde's two owners, arriving while she and Candide. They are talking and Candide kills them both. Candide, the old woman, is frightened, and Cunégonde fled and boarded a boat bound for South America. During the trip, an old woman tells her own story. She was born the daughter of the Pope. But it has suffered many misfortunes, including rape, oppression, and cannibalism.

Candide and Cunégonde plan to get married. But as soon as they arrived in Buenos Aires, Governor Don Fernando proposed to the Cunégonde. Considering her own financial welfare, she admitted. The Grand Inquisitor's killer pursuit arrives from Portugal to track down Candide, along with a newly acquired valet named Cacambo.Candid also fled to a Jesuit-controlled territory, which is opposed to the Spanish government. After summoning the listener to the Jesuit commander, Candide discovers that the commander is Cunégonde's brother, the Baron, who is able to escape from Bulgars.Candide announces that he plans to marry Cunégonde.

After several days of travel, Candide and Cacambo find themselves in the land of El Dorado, where gold and jewels litter the streets. This utopia has advanced scientific knowledge, no religious conflicts, no court system, and does not value many gold and jewels, but Candide aspires to return to Cunégonde, and after a month in Eldorado, he and Cacambo set out ready. With countless precious gems placed on the agile flock When they reached Suriname, Candide sent Cacambo to Buenos Aires with tips on how to spend luck to buy a Cunégonde from Don Fernando and then meet him in Venice. An unscrupulous merchant named Vanderdendur stole a lot of Candide's fortune, reducing his optimism to some. Disappointed, Candide traveled to France with a specially selected travel companion, unrepentantly pessimistic scholar named Martin. On his way there, he was given part of his fortune when the Spanish captain sank Vanderdendur Candide's ship, proving that there was justice in the world. But Martin strongly disagreed.

In Paris, Candide and Martin mingled with the social elite.Candide's fortune attracted a large number of hangers, many of whom had been successful in collecting jewelry from him. Candide and Martin continue their journey to Venice, where no one meets Cunégonde and Cacambo to Candide's disappointment.However, they meet other colorful individuals there, including Paquette, a whore who has become. The prostitute who gave Pangloss syphilis and Count Pococurante, a Venetian billionaire, eventually fed up with the cultural treasures surrounding him, Cacambo, now a slave to the retired Turkish king. He explained that Cunégonde was in Constantinople where she herself was oppressed, along with older women Martin, Cacambo and Candide traveling to Turkey, where Candide bought Cacambo's freedom.

Candide meets Pangloss and the Baron in the Turkish Chain Gang. The pair clearly survived their deaths and after various mishaps arrived in Turkey despite everything Pangloss remained optimistic. The overjoyed Candide buys their freedom, and he and his growing followers search for Kunegondae and the old woman. Cunégonde has grown ugly since Candide last met her. But he bought her freedom anyway. He also bought the old woman's freedom and bought a farm outside of Constantinople. He kept a long promise to marry Cunégonde. But after being forced to send a baron, who is still unable to coexist with his older sister who is married to a commoner, returns to the Candide chain gang, Cunégonde, Cacambo, Pangloss, and the old woman lives a comfortable life on the farm. But soon found herself more bored and arguing, Candide finally met a farmer who lived a simple life, worked hard and avoided secondary matters and rest.Candide and his friends were inspired to plant a garden. Seriously All their time and energy goes into work and nothing is left for philosophical conjecture. In the end, everyone was fulfilled and happy.
