 Essay on Candide
Cacambo's explanation of the way los Padres run things in Paraguay is a forerunner to contemporary Communism (say, of the Soviet Union), where los Padres own everything and the people nothing, los Padres allowing the people to live on and use their land.

He was a very handsome young man, round-faced, fair, and fresh-colored, his eyebrows were finely arched, he had a piercing eye, the tips of his ears were red, his lips vermilion, and he had a bold and commanding air; but such a boldness as neither resembled that of a Spaniard nor of a Jesuit.
