Note: Word count (from Project Gutenberg) = 31,037, hence a novella, even though it's often referred to as a novel.
Synopsis: A "fantasy" (in a traditional sense) about the adventures of a character in a non-historical interpretation of ancient Babylon. Not really alternative history, but it is borderline speculative fiction because the hero is visited by the angel Jesrad, who helps direct Zadig's life.
