Based on the 1758 edition, George R Healy's accurate and lively
translation of Montesquieu's provocative fiction retains
Montesquieu's paragraphing and is accompanied by a unique and handy
analytical table of contents. In his perceptive Introduction, Healy
presents The Persian Letters as a kind of overture to the
Enlightenment, a work designed more to explore than to resolve two
problems of great urgency for eighteenth century thought: that of
discovering universals, or at least constants, amid the diversity
of human culture and society, and of confronting the proposition
that there are now values in human relationships except those
imposed by force or agreed upon in self-interested conventions.
