«Le monde comme il va» and «Zadig» are two philosophical tales by Voltaire collected in a volume published by Larousse in paperback (191 pages, in French).
In «Le monde comme il va», an observer evaluates Persepolis to know if it deserves to be destroyed and discovers a society where vice and virtue coexist. «Zadig» narrates the misfortunes of a Babylonian sage seeking happiness amid injustices and trials. Irony and social criticism unite both stories.
Edition from the Classiques Larousse collection with complete texts, explanatory notes, thematic documentation, and didactic material prepared by Claude Blum.
