N2  - "Lettres persanes, tome II" by baron de Charles de Secondat Montesquieu is an epistolary novel published in 1721. 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.)
