Persische Briefe
Persische Briefe
Charles Montesquieu
¥9.00
Die "Lettres persanes" (erste Ausgabe 1721) des franz?sischen Staatsphilosophen der Aufkl?rung Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède de Montesquieu (so sein vollst?ndiger Name) ist eines der wirkm?chtigsten Bücher der Weltliteratur, zugleich eines der erfolgreichsten zu seiner Zeit. Es ist nach der franz?sischen Revolution allerdings zunehmend in den Schatten von Montesquieus Hauptwerk, "De l’esprit des loix" (1748, Vom Geist der Gesetze), getreten, obwohl es im Vergleich zu den politischen Positionen in den Persischen Briefen durchaus als Rückschritt betrachtet werden kann. Im Gegensatz zu dem Hauptwerk gehen die Persischen Briefe unterhaltsam und satirisch an die zentralen Fragestellungen der Zeit heran; wenn man bedenkt, dass es dem Verfasser vor allem darum zu tun gewesen sein soll, mit diesem Text seine Aufnahme in die Academie fran?aise, die er in den Briefen noch dazu geh?rig verspottet, zu erreichen - was ihm auch gelang -, dann dr?ngt sich der Gedanke auf, dass das Selbstinteresse einmal mehr einen Zweck durchgesetzt hat, den es gar nicht vordringlich verfolgte.

Randolph Carter dreams three times of a majestic sunset city, but each time he is abruptly snatched away before he can see it up close. When he prays to the gods of dream to reveal the whereabouts of the phantasmal city, they do not answer, and his dreams of the city stop altogether. Undaunted, Carter resolves to go to Kadath, where the gods live, to beseech them in person. However, no one has ever been to Kadath and none even knows how to get there. In dream, Randolph Carter descends "the seventy steps to the cavern of flame" and speaks of his plan to the priests Nasht and Kaman-Thah, whose temple borders the Dreamlands. The priests warn Carter of the great danger of his quest and suggest that the gods withdrew his vision of the city on purpose.
