Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Product Description

Zadig est vertueux, intelligent, séduisant et apprécié de tous. Il cherche le bonheur mais ne trouve sur sa route qu'injustices et barbarie. Les rencontres et les épreuves qui jalonnent son parcours lui permettront-elles de comprendre le sens de la destinée? Si ce conte philosophique nous transporte en Orient, c'est bien la société française du XVIIIe siècle qui est dépeinte par Voltaire. Une satire savoureuse à l'ironie mordante.

About the Author

Né le 21 novembre 1694 et mort le 30 mai 1778 à Paris, Voltaire est écrivain et philosophe illustre du XVIIIe siècle. Symbole des Lumières et chef de file du parti philosophique il lutte contre « l’infâme », nom qu’il donne au fanatisme religieux, pour le progrès et la tolérance. De sa considérable carrière d’écrivain, on lui prête surtout ses écrits philosophiques, Candide ou L’optimisme est son œuvre la plus célèbre. Des poèmes officiels lui permettent d'entrer à l'Académie Française et à la Cour comme historiographe du roi en 1746. Voltaire est également une figure marquante de la vie politique du XVIIIème siècle, considéré comme un précurseur de la Révolution française, il entre au Panthéon en 1791. Jamais écrivain n’aura autant lutté pour la défense de la libre expression, au prix d’exils en Angleterre, en Prusse et en Suisse et de nombreuses publications anonymes.
