I discovered this channel during high school while I was reading beowulf and still use it now in college for fun :), thank you for sharing your enthusiasm/knowledge!
As someone who's always had trouble with sarcasm & irony, Candide was interesting but a little difficult to get through. And yet I was able to fully enjoy the parodic & sarcastic humour of Discworld :)
Have you heard Leonard Bernstein's musical version of Candide? In my junior year of high school, we sang "Make Our Garden Grow" in my choir's spring show.
Thanks for sharing this. Great video for a great book. But one Question, why this book does not have a huge number of followers and fans and likes nowadays? I live in Cologne Westphalia were Germans always try to find a positive in every negative disaster, now I am wondering if they come up with another silly idea of finding a positive thing in the War in Ukraine! I wish i have Voltaire with me now
My grade 12 English teacher said our homework was to watch your videos about the theories

Yes, it's fantastic. I love Kristen Chenoweth as Cunegonde. Have you seen that version?
Tim Nance Not yet :)

The book was like an old blues song.....Trouble after trouble...
That’s actually brilliant. I may have to write a summary of the book as a blues song now!
Where's the video about the curse of Candide that you mentioned in the video for chapters 25-30?
I got distracted and never uploaded it! Oops! I need to do that!
