Zadig, and Other Stories

The way he uses wit to challenge societal norms is fascinating. I'm curious whether he intended these tales to be purely entertaining or also thought-provoking.

The collection format allows for a variety of topics and tones, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to mirror the unpredictability of life itself.
