Two Persians, Usbek and Rica, travel through Europe and settle in the Paris of Louis XIV and the Regency. In their letters they describe French life, customs, religion and institutions, and their status as newcomers makes the everyday seem strange, offering a witty satire of eighteenth-century society.

For those interested in eighteenth-century French literature and social satire; also school reading.
