En esta obra, Voltaire da forma literaria y crítica a tres anos de terribles acontecimientos históricos (el terremoto de Lisboa y la guerra de los Siete Anos), cargando contra la teoría de Leibniz de que vivimos en «el mejor de los mundos posibles».Cándido es una novela de aprendizaje, y su héroe, un optimista que cree a pies juntillas que el mundo es un paraíso, a pesar de que, desde la primera línea, la realidad se encarga de negarlo. Este contexto da pie a Voltaire a atacar, con ironía y sarcasmo, la intolerancia, el fanatismo, los abusos de la colonización europea en América, los enganos y artificios sociales y las matanzas de las guerras.
