nové vydání klasické anglické četby 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.
