In this corrosive and brilliant portrait of contemporary France, Gilles Martin-Chauffier emulates the style of Montesquieu's 'Persian Letters' to explore the customs, contradictions, and peculiarities of the French nation. Through a satirical lens, the author examines a society that reveres its Republic while bowing to pomp, that despises its politicians yet re-elects them constantly, and that lives in a complex relationship with religion and identity in the modern world. This work offers a lucid and amusing view of the 'homeland of the Enlightenment,' questioning with irony what it means to be French today.
