Lettres persanes - 3 CD audio

To Montesquieu belongs the honor of pioneering the movement out of which grew the philosophical dictionaries, encyclopedias, and the literary crusade against mental subjection. If ever satire had a distinct call to duty it was during the Regency in France. Montesquieu adopted the device of a series of familiar letters exchanged by two Persian travelers in France. They were completed in 1721. Popular taste was captivated by the wit and pleasantry of the Letters. They gently satirized the abuses rife in church and state; society was held up to ridicule for its pet sins.

Reprints Lowenthal's translation with notes, published in 1965 by The Free Press. In one of his lesser known efforts, the great French essayist Montesquieu (1689-1755) starts with the beginnings of Rome and considers the characteristics of the people, the expansion, and the empire. Then he chronicles its decline, reign by reign, until there is nothing left of the Western Empire and he leaps to the Eastern. The French original was published in 1734 in Holland.
