'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.

孟德斯鸠的两大巨著之一,也许从阅读者人数来说远超另一本《论法的精神》。想想同样的贵族,多少人吃喝玩乐,围着女子强充着骑士精神,而作者却认真学习思考,终于名垂千古。 故事以书信的形式,算是松散的杂文集,以一个波斯人被流亡出国,来到欧洲主要是路易十四逝世前后的法...
评分豆友说,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》...
评分说实话,这本书写的不是很好,但视角比较独特,算是先驱的比较XX。而且,我一致认为,书信体和日记体都比较容易铺陈,不太需要构思太多的类型,但要写好也不十分容易,需要语言上的独特和灵动,《少年维特的烦恼》、《小人物日记》、《新爱洛伊丝》均如此。而孟德斯鸠说实话,...
