'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.

豆友说,在看新书之前,想想自己看了哪些老书。孟德斯鸠处于法国路易十五时期,上任“太阳王”路易十四的铁腕统治也有所松动。本书正创作于这个时期,采用书信体,借由一位郁不得志而到欧洲游历的波斯国王的书信展开。这种创作方式当时很流行,我则想到林达的《近距离看美国》...
評分他模拟东方人的陌生口气来写法国 又以法国人的先入之见来想象波斯人的“后院” 又奇异又新鲜,还满足人们的猎奇心理。 难怪成为巴黎众沙龙的敲门砖。
評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...
