Le « regard persan »

Petruța Spânu

Pages 92–101

Abstract

In the Persian Letters (1721) of Montesquieu, two exotic and imaginary foreigners walk in a real space, the kingdom of France in the last years of the reign of Louis XIV and Philippe d'Orléans's regency. They compare the new customs, the ordinary life and the social types with those of their own world. Imperceptibly, the foreign observers become moralists, sociologists and philosophers.
