'Oh! Monsieur is Persian? That's most extraordinary! How can someone be Persian?' Two Persian travellers, Usbek and Rica, arrive in Paris just before the death of Louis XIV and in time to witness the hedonism and financial crash of the Regency. In their letters home they report on visits to the theatre and scientific societies, and observe the manners and flirtations of polite society, the structures of power and the hypocrisy of religion. Irony and bitter satire mark their comparison of East and West and their quest for understanding. Unsettling news from Persia concerning the female world of the harem intrudes on their new identities and provides a suspenseful plot of erotic jealousy and passion. This pioneering epistolary novel and work of travel-writing opened the world of the West to its oriental visitors and the Orient to its Western readers. This is the first English translation based on the original text, revealing this lively work as Montesquieu first intended.

看了三分之一,开头略【……】,看到穴居人的故事注意力开始集中起来 穴居人的故事,和洛克、卢梭的故事有相同的味道,但有趣之处在于,它是用更具文学色彩的笔调,先后写了共和国灭亡后的两个穴居社会,恶人的和善人的。在孟德斯鸠看来,人性似乎是本恶的,但并非绝对,也有...
评分这本书也满是对群体的不满和批判,只是刚好迎合猎奇东方的口味,换做波斯人的人称来写。道德的冲突比比皆是,无论外界给予郁斯贝克的,还是他的内心,处处都是不和谐,这正是孟德斯鸠批判的铺垫。换个视角考虑问题,这也不是什么新的思考方法,也必然会带来诸多的疑问,个人觉...
评分孟德斯鸠一生有三部伟大作品,波斯人信札,论罗马盛衰的原因和论法的精神,论罗马盛衰的原因其实是论法的精神的第一章,所以其实孟德斯鸠一生的作品只有两部,波斯人信札通过虚构的150封几个波斯人的信件来往,勾勒了当时法国乃至欧洲社会政治现状,讽刺了当时的法国皇帝。而后...
