Immerse yourself in 18th-century France through the eyes of Rica and Usbek, two Persian travelers who exchange letters with their friends in Persia. For eight years, these privileged observers describe Western customs, the functioning of the absolute monarchy, and the power of the Church. Montesquieu uses this epistolary format to offer a scathing critique of French society under the Ancien Régime. This volume includes the complete text of the work with footnotes, language study activities, and a dossier with texts related to the theme of the distant gaze, ideal for students and lovers of classic French literature.
