Candide
A #BookReviewHaiku / 50-word review of Voltaire's book
Candide’s love for Cunégonde leads to his exile. What ensues is a journey around the world. Expect severe hardships, enlightening experiences, and a “happy” ending...
Candide is a delightfully sarcastic story that takes a scathing, insightful, and timeless look at the human condition.
In the garden:
neglecting optimism
over cultivation.

August
The month of August is one where the summer seems to be dwindling away. At times the days and nights seem cooler with bouts of warmer days and nights. The summer picnics seems to be also fewer. The back-to-school sales begin along with various school orientations at different levels of schooling. Again, August is the end of summer vacation.

Finely done, Cendrine. Your haiku hits so clearly the point Voltaire was trying to make, I think!

I love Candide!! Great review :)
I've never read this before. I loved your review and Haiku!
I've never read Voltaire although I think that I may have Candide in my book collection somewhere. I like your choices for your critiques. Keep them coming!
How amazing, we just went to the opera. Now I need to read the book!
I love the book, and I think we all should appreciate it as much as you have!
I've heard a little about the author but not his books. You have piqued my interest however. I may have to find a copy (in english) at some point
I love how you are doing your critiques!!!!!!
