"Under the pseudonym "Persialaisia krijeitä", the book of Charles Louis Checondat Baron de Montesquieu gained immense popularity among readers in European countries. Published in 1721, this book at first looks like a collection of letters from Persia, but in fact the author uses this form to criticize the social life and political institutions of France at the time. From suggestions for improving government to reflections on the nature of human freedom, "Persialaisia krijeitä" leaves the reader thoughtful and vulnerable to the problems of his era. This book has been a standard for centuries for writers and philosophers working on questions of power and justice in society."
