«Cartas marruecas» is the epistolary work by José Cadalso, published by E. Escolar in paperback (230 pages, in Spanish).
Ninety letters exchanged between Gazel, a Moroccan traveller, his master Ben-Beley, and the Spaniard Nuño serve Cadalso to trace a satirical vision of eighteenth-century Spain, following the model of Montesquieu's Persian Letters. The exchange addresses customs, politics, religion and education with a reflective tone and critical vocation.
Work originally published in 1789; this 1983 edition belongs to the Los Clásicos collection (no. 74).
Readers of classics of Spanish literature and Enlightenment thought will find here a representative work of the eighteenth century.
