520    Zadig or, The Book of Fate is both a novel and a work of 
       philosophical fiction. Presenting life as in the control 
       of destiny beyond any human control, the book presents 
       questions about religion and the metaphysical. Because of 
       its elaborate and skillful use of juxtaposition, 
       contradiction and form, it is considered Voltaire's most 
       celebrated work after Candide.  The work tells the story 
       of Zadig, a philosopher in ancient Babylonia who finds 
       himself in love with women who always seem to be involved 
       in other relationships. One such woman is the Queen of 
       Babylon, Astarte. In his adventures to woo and ultimately 
       marry the queen despite her being married to the King of 
       Babylon, Zadig encounters various people and solves their 
       problems.  While walking along the river Euphrates, Zadig 
       happens upon a hermit reading the Book of Destinies, 
       learns that his helping others has left him in Fate's good
       favor, and is given the answers to win over the queen and 
       defeat her husband in the famous Enigma challenge.
