Persialaisia kirjeitä by baron de Charles de Secondat Montesquieu
"Persialaisia kirjeitä" by baron de Charles de Secondat Montesquieu is a literary work published in 1721. Two Persian noblemen, Usbek and Rica, journey from Isfahan to France, where they spend years observing Western society under Louis XIV and the Regency. Through exchanged letters, they offer sharp commentary on French politics and manners. Meanwhile, back in Isfahan, Usbek's seraglio descends into chaos. His five wives and eunuchs spiral toward rebellion and tragedy as
control slips irreversibly away, leaving Usbek stranded between two worlds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
