Collection "THE BOOK MUSEUM". n°5.
Famous copy of the literary work of the 18th century philosopher Montesquieu. In addition to the fact that this work denotes the taste of an era for everything related to the Orient, it is above all an epistolary novel highlighting the correspondence of two Persian friends travelling abroad, Usbek and Rica. The author perfectly illustrates the clash of Eastern and Western cultures through their fictional writings.
In good condition.
