Publisher's Synopsis

Zadig Or The Book Of Fate is a novel written by the French Enlightenment writer Voltaire in 1780. The story is set in ancient Babylon and follows the life of the titular character, Zadig, a young man who is known for his intelligence and wisdom. Zadig is faced with a series of challenges and obstacles that test his character and his ability to navigate the complexities of life. Through his experiences, Zadig learns about the unpredictable nature of fate and the importance of self-reflection and self-improvement. The novel is a satirical commentary on the social and political issues of Voltaire's time, and it also explores themes of justice, morality, and the human condition. With its vivid descriptions of ancient Babylonian culture and its engaging plot, Zadig Or The Book Of Fate remains a classic work of literature that continues to captivate readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
