Cover of Voltaire: Zadig: Or, The Book of Fate (ePUB)

Zadig; or, The Book of Fate (French: Zadig ou la Destinee; 1747) is a novella and work of philosophical fiction by the Enlightenment writer Voltaire. It tells the story of Zadig, a philosopher in ancient Babylonia. The author does not attempt any historical accuracy, and some of the problems Zadig faces are thinly disguised references to social and political problems of Voltaire’s own day.
