Více o knize

The narrative follows two Persian noblemen, Usbek and Rica, as they explore France, providing a unique outsider's perspective on French society and culture. Through their letters, Montesquieu critiques various aspects of European life, including politics, religion, and social customs, while highlighting the contrasts between Eastern and Western philosophies. This satirical work serves as a vehicle for philosophical discourse and social commentary, inviting readers to reflect on their own society through the eyes of the travelers.
