Synopsis
Las "Cartas persas" (1721) es la obra germinal de la novela epistolar y de intención satírica. Mediante el recurso de las cartas de personajes extranjeros se satirizan las instituciones y costumbres propias. Dichos personajes, portadores de una nueva mirada, dejan en evidencia con su aparente ingenuidad, la autocomplacencia de la sociedad francesa en la bondad de su vida y usos sociales. Esta edición ofrece una nueva traducción, ya que tradicionalmente se ha utilizado la del abate Marchena (Tecnos).

Paperback. Condition: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Cartas Persas (Persian Letters) by Montesquieu is a classic work of Enlightenment literature that uses the format of fictional letters to offer a sharp critique of French society in the 18th century. Written from the perspective of two Persian travelers, Usbek and Rica, the book humorously and critically examines European customs, political systems, and social structures. Through satire, Montesquieu challenges the excesses of absolute monarchy, religious intolerance, and the rigid class system, making it a powerful exploration of human nature and society. A foundational text for those interested in political philosophy, social criticism, and the Enlightenment era, this work continues to inspire discussions on liberty, justice, and governance.
