  • Summary

  • "Zadig" by Voltaire is a witty satire set in ancient Babylon, where the protagonist, Zadig, uses his sharp intellect and powers of deduction to solve mysteries. Originally intended to mock 18th-century European society, the story's cleverness transcends time, making Zadig the forefather of modern detective characters like Sherlock Holmes. Voltaire’s brilliant storytelling intertwines adventure, humour, and sharp commentary on the absurdities of the era’s customs, science, and metaphysics. Experience this timeless satire that continues to resonate with readers today.Listen to the intriguing tale of "Zadig" on Audio Pitara. Download the Audio Pitara app now!
