Two Persian travelers, Usbek and Rica, journey to Paris and exchange letters with friends back home during their nine-year stay abroad. Through their seemingly naive observations, they critique eighteenth-century French society and politics. Meanwhile, Usbek's harem in Ispahan descends into chaos as rebellion brews among his wives and eunuchs, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
