Voltaire

Candide________________

Candide, Voltaire's best-known work, is an adventure story, a picaresque novel and a satire – all rolled into one. The young and naive Candide stumbles from one (mis)adventure to the next, including fighting in wars, being arrested, being nearly burned at the stake, finding El Dorado and leaving it.

The Anglo-Saxons valued bravery, perseverance, sacrifice, loyalty, duty to the tribe and king, and honor. These ideals, known as the Heroic Code in Beowulf, exemplify what they deemed important in their culture. They used stories to teach these morals to successive generations.
