«Lettres persanes» is Montesquieu's epistolary novel, published by Larousse in paperback (416 pages, in French).
The work follows the Persians Rica and Usbek, who travel through Europe and France while back home the harem is in turmoil. Their foreign gaze makes everyday French life seem exotic and underpins the social and political criticism of the era. Published anonymously in 1721, it marked the birth of the epistolary novel and of Enlightenment critical consciousness.
2019 edition from the Petits Classiques Larousse collection; includes the complete text, a pedagogical dossier and the «Le regard éloigné» section.
Intended for students in the French education system preparing for the Bac, and for readers interested in Enlightenment classics.
