Summary "Zadig, ó El Destino, Historia Oriental" by Voltaire is a philosophical novella written in the early 18th century. The story unfolds in ancient Babylon and follows the journey of a young man named Zadig, who is depicted as wise and virtuous, as he experiences a series of adventures that test his understanding of fate, happiness, and the nature of human existence. The beginning of the novella introduces Zadig, a noble and educated young man living under the reign of King Moabdar. He is about to marry Semira, a woman of great beauty and wealth, when their plans are disrupted by a violent abduction attempt led by a jealous rival. Despite his valor, while he manages to rescue Semira, he suffers a severe injury to his eye, marking the start of a series of misfortunes that befall him, including the heartbreak of losing Semira to another man and the unpredictable turns of fate that challenge his pursuit of happiness. This act sets the stage for the exploration of chance and destiny throughout the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
