«Cartas persas» is the epistolary novel of social and political satire by Montesquieu, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardback (218 pages, in Spanish).
Through the letters of two Persian travellers in France, Montesquieu portrays with an outsider's eye the institutions, religion and customs of French society during the Regency. The correspondence, concluded in 1721, wittily satirises the abuses of Church and State and anticipates the critical literature of the Enlightenment.
1985 edition belonging to the collection «Biblioteca de Política, Economía y Sociología». The work was first published as «Les lettres persanes».
Of interest to readers of classical literature, philosophy and political thought, as well as to those studying eighteenth-century literature.
