Persian Letters

ISBN: 9780192806352 出版年：2008 页码：315 Montesquieu Oxford University Press

Two Persian travellers arrive in Paris and report on the European society of the Enlightenment in their letters home. With biting satire they compare East and West, while unsettling news from the harem provides a suspenseful plot of jealousy and passion. This is the first English translation based on the original text.
