In ancient Babylon, a bright‑minded young man named Zadig navigates a world of scholars, mystics, and courtly intrigue. Trained in the sciences of the Babylonians and the teachings of Zoroaster, he balances keen intellect with humility, refusing to let his wealth or wit become a shield for arrogance. His calm demeanor and generous spirit earn him both admiration and subtle envy among those who cross his path.
Engaged to the beautiful and well‑born Semira, Zadig believes he stands on the threshold of lasting happiness. Yet the whims of fate and the judgments of powerful figures begin to test his resolve, prompting him to confront questions of justice, destiny, and personal integrity. Listeners will be drawn into his thoughtful journey, where each encounter offers a glimpse into the timeless struggle between reason and circumstance.

A brilliant satirist of the Enlightenment, he used wit, stories, and sharp argument to challenge intolerance and abuses of power. Best known today for Candide, he remains one of the clearest and liveliest voices in French literature.
