Two Persian travelers, Usbek and Rica, journey to Paris and exchange letters with friends back home during their nine-year stay abroad. Through a falsely naïve perspective, they observe and critique eighteenth-century French society, politics, and customs. Meanwhile, back in Persia, Usbek's harem descends into chaos and rebellion, leading to a tragic conclusion that arrives too late for intervention. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
