«Lettres Persanes» is Montesquieu's epistolary novel, published by Flammarion in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Two Persian nobles, Usbek and Rica, travel through eighteenth-century France and share their impressions in letters to friends and correspondents. Their foreign gaze contrasts European absolutism with life in the seraglio of Isfahan, giving rise to a satire of Western politics, religion, and customs.
Work first published in 1721. This edition belongs to Flammarion's GF collection.
Suitable for students of literature and philosophy, as well as readers interested in the social critique of French Enlightenment thought.
Charles Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French judge, intellectual, historian, and political philosopher.
