«Lettres persanes» is the satirical epistolary novel by Montesquieu, published by Belin Gallimard in paperback (370 pages, in French).
Rica and Usbek, two Persian travelers, exchange letters with their friends in Persia while journeying through Europe between 1711 and 1720. Their observations on ancien régime France, absolute monarchy and the power of the Church form an epistolary satire that, with irony, questions Western prejudices and customs.
This edition belongs to the Classico Lycée collection and includes the complete text and a pedagogical dossier. The work was originally published in 1721.
Recommended for high school students and for readers who want to approach the classics of the Enlightenment with didactic support.
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.
