The story follows the character of the Chevalier Baltimore as he explores the nature of humanity, investigating whether man is innately good or evil through his interactions and reflections on civilization versus the natural state. The tale promises a deep examination of human emotions and morality, especially embodied in the character of Williams, a native Indian who has lived in a state of nature. At the start of the narrative, the Chevalier Baltimore expresses his eagerness to understand humanity in its primal form, driven by philosophical inquiry and a quest for truth. As he prepares for an expedition to America, he contemplates various accounts of tribes, ultimately finding them contradictory and influenced by cultural biases. Upon arrival, he forms a bond with Williams, also known as Zidzem, whose experiences and reflections on his life among both savage and civilized societies may hold the key to understanding human nature. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of deep philosophical questions through the intriguing interplay of friendship, culture, and the essence of being.
