Raamatu sündmused toimuvad muistses Babülonis ning allegooriline seiklusterohke lugu pajatab voorusliku Zadigi õnneotsingutest. Voltaire vihjab Zadigi teekonna kaudu, et maailm on täis kurjust, tühiseid kirgi ja väiklust ning et inimesed ise pole muud kui «üksteist õgivad putukad väikesel porikübemel». Täiuslik kord valitseb ehk kusagil kõrgemate olendite seas, kuid siin maailmas peab inimene leppima oma saatusega, mis inimesest endast sõltub vähe.
