Et c'est justement de la critique d'un système de représentation dont il est ici question, de la remise en cause d'une idéologie naissante qui place désormais l'argent au sommet des valeurs.

Publiées sans nom d'auteur en 1721, les "Lettres persanes" rencontrèrent aussitôt un considérable succès. L'ouvrage se donne comme un recueil de près de deux cents lettres : celles d'Usbek et Rica, deux "Persans" voyageant vers l'Europe et s'arrêtant à Paris. En restituant, pour le plaisir de l'écoute, la pluralité des voix, nous voudrions inviter à découvrir (ou redécouvrir) un texte qui sait aussi se faire roman. Montesquieu, observateur des mœurs et des institutions, s'efforce de les comparer suivant les variations de lieu et de temps.
