Candido by Sciascia

I just finished the book Candido ovvero un sogno fatto in Sicilia ed.Einaudi, Torino:1977 by Leonardo Sciascia. Based upon the example of Voltaire's Candido, this is the story of an unloved guy who naively preserves his personality against unlucky accidents and people's hate. I think everybody should be like Candido. Read it, if you can. Except for a little boring political paranthesis, it's engaging and consitutes an example on how we can save our best even against in adversities.
