Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Usbek, un grand seigneur persan intelligent et dsabus, accompagn de son jeune ami Rica, plus mallable et enthousiaste, vient Paris afin de dcouvrir les secrets et l'art de vivre du monde occidental. Les moeurs, les caractres, les types sociaux, le dcor et la vie tout les surprend et les pousse au parallle avec leur propre monde. Puis, une fois surmont le premier dsarroi, cette socit nouvelle rvle peu peu ses fondements et ses lois, mais galement ses drames. L'tranger d'abord tonn devient observateur politique, philosophe et quasisociologue avant l'heure : Comment peuton tre persan ? Si ds leur parution en 1721, les Lettres persanes rencontrent un considrable succs, c'est qu'audel du roman par lettres ce livre trange et neuf est une chronique politique en mme temps qu'un journal de voyage. C'est aussi un essai de morale, mais convenons qu'en Montesquieu le moraliste est gai, et que le ton de ses lettres est volontiers narquois. Voltaire, ainsi, a pu juger que, dans cet ouvrage de plaisanterie , plein de traits annoncent un esprit plus solide que son livre . En ralit, le livre est aussi solide que l'esprit car la leon du roman est que l'impertinence est libratrice : l'crivain accepte le monde o il vit, mais refuse d'en tre la dupe.Edition de Paul Vernire mise jour par Catherine VolpilhacAuger.
