Zadig, or the Book of Fate by Voltaire – A free audiobook

 

Narrated by Librivox Group
 

Zadig, or the Book of Fate is a famous classic novel written by renowned philosopher, Voltaire. The book tells of a man who lived in ancient Babylonia named Zadig, who is a philosopher during his time. While Voltaire does not focus on accuracy when it comes to telling this tale set in a time long past, Zadig’s struggle actually reflects the social and political turmoil that Voltaire is experiencing in his era.

This free audiobook tackles the philosophical nature of life and states that man’s destiny is beyond any human control. Zadig’s story is one ripe with religious and metaphysical beliefs all of which Voltaire challenges with his own presentation of morality that he then transfers through the character of Zadig. This is one of Voltaire’s most celebrated works and is a true classic for those who study philosophy.

This free audiobook from Librivox is narrated by a cast of talented performers and is handled with care and respect, as should be of Voltaire’s work.
