How to sell a book years old to a modern reader? What is Persian Letters appeal today of the epistolary musings of a couple of Oriental travellers having a first contact with Persian Letters civilization at the end of King Louis the 14th? Here are some points that I hope will tickle your interest: 1 - The Persian Letters were not written as history, but as a contemporary satire of Persian Letters civilization, using ridicule and common sense to expose Persian Letters more unsavoury mentalities and practices of fellow countrymen.
