'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.

"The Ottoman Empire: its sick body is sustained not by a gentle and moderate regime, but by violent remedies which persistently weaken it, leaving it exhausted."
评分Stereotyping but with fairly good grounds; interesting alternation with wives and discussion of law 六天读完啦!可能破了英文阅读速度的记录!这本书的孟德斯鸠是很有大都会/cosmopolitan气息的孟德斯鸠。 聪明的剧情设计:中间波斯帝国里一个女性觉醒的小故事,到最后最贞洁的Roxane觉醒的剧情扭转(twist) 以及中间一个故事:被选为领导的老者说的你们选我为领导,是为了可以被我的管制而束缚而非被自己的道德所束缚
评分老孟的语调在书里渐入佳境 最后50篇简直篇篇经典 可是为什么始终觉得孟德斯鸠不应该写这种奇奇怪怪的东西... 里面的Paris换成现在的帝都和魔都其实也一样适用的吧...
评分Peculiar and fascinating!

评分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。
