''Dans ce siÂcle du voyage et de la philosophie Zadig entreprend son apprentissage dans un univers partagÂŽ entre le bien et le mal. Trahi par SÂŽmire et Azora dÂŽÂu par l'amour Zadig trouve refuge dans la nature qui est ˆ l'image de Dieu. RemarquÂŽ par le roi d'ƒgypte Moabdar il retourne dans le tourbillon du monde et devient Premier ministre. SÂŽduit par la reine AstartÂŽ et menacÂŽ par la jalousie du roi il fuit bient™t Babylone. C'est l'occasion pour lui d'un retour sur soi et d'une rÂŽflexion sur les caprices de la fatalitÂŽ. Au hasard des aventures qu'il croise sur son chemin en compagnie de l'ermite Zadig devient l'incarnation de la Providence dont les voies restent par ailleurs impÂŽnÂŽtrables. L'ange Jesrad lui rÂŽvÂŽlera une partie des mystÂres de la DestinÂŽe. Si l'homme est sans cesse tiraillÂŽ entre libertÂŽ et dÂŽterminisme il semble bien devoir les concilier. Et c'est lˆ sans doute la seule vÂŽritÂŽ qui nous soit accessible.'' LÂŽgers dÂŽfauts affectant les coupes de l'ÂŽtui. Du reste trÂs belle condition. b42961 unknown
