«Lettres persanes» is an edition with extracts from Montesquieu's epistolary novel, published by Bordas Editions in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The work presents the fictional correspondence of two Persians, Usbek and Rica, who travel through Europe and write to their correspondents in Persia. The travellers' estranged gaze at eighteenth-century French society allows Montesquieu to satirise customs and political and religious institutions, and offers a reflection on freedom and cultural diversity.
The volume belongs to the Univers des Lettres Bordas collection and includes a selection of passages from the work.
Aimed at secondary school students studying the work in French, and useful as support for literature classes.
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.
