    Pour des raisons politiques, Usbek a quitte la Perse. Il entreprend alors un long voyage jusqu'a Paris. Sur le chemin, tout le surprend ; et c'est par lettres qu'il transmet a ses amis eloignes les faiblesses et les points fort d'un nouveau monde. On y voit la une peinture sans tabou, parfois satirique, du peuple d'occident. C'est un roman epistolaire, un essai de morale et un journal de voyage - mais c'est surtout une ouverture sur le monde.-

    I 1700-tallet blev Europa for alvor interesseret i Orienten – alt orientalsk blev moderne, og "1001 nats eventyr" med dens farverige fantasi og forbudte følelser læstes vidt og bredt i Frankrigs fornemste kredse. I "To persere i Paris" lod filosof og forfatter Charles de Montesquieu to persere komme til hans samtids Paris og kommentere på det franske samfunds mærkværdigheder. Hekseafbrændinger, den katolske afladningshandel, det intrigante kulturliv og det politiske livs spytslikkere kommer under hård behandling, når de to fremmede herrer skriver hjem.Charles de Montesquieu (1689-1755) var en fransk advokat, politisk filosof og tænker. Han var en vigtig del af oplysningstiden, og hans politiske teorier om opdeling af statens magt spiller en stor rolle i mange landes forfatninger.

    The Spirit of the Laws is, without question, one of the central texts in the history of eighteenth-century thought, yet there has been no complete, scholarly English-language edition since that of Thomas Nugent, published in 1750. This lucid translation renders Montesquieu's problematic text newly accessible to a fresh generation of students, helping them to understand quite why Montesquieu was such an important figure in the early enlightenment and why The Spirit of the Laws was, for example, such an influence upon those who framed the American constitution. Fully annotated, this edition focuses attention upon Montesquieu's use of sources and his text as a whole, rather than upon those opening passages towards which critical energies have traditionally been devoted, and a select bibliography and chronology are provided for those coming to Montesquieu's work for the first time.
