Zadig (1747), is an ancient exile, who is forced to wander throughout the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. He manages to bring more trouble upon himself than do Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad combined.
The most noted work in this volume is Candide (1759), who like his predecessor, Zadig, manages to bring every bit of trouble possible upon himself. A noted traveler, he finds adversity throughout the globe, not limiting his wanderings to any region, as did Zadig.
Long before Vernes From the Earth to the Moon (1865) and Wells put The First Men in the Moon (1901) and fed The Food of the Gods (1904) to his main character, there was Voltaires Micromegas (1752), a colossal interstellar traveler.
The remaining stories ar minor in nature.
