      abstract = {In 1711 Usbek leaves his seraglio in Isfahan to undertake  the long journey to France, accompanied by his young friend  Rica. He leaves behind five wives (Zachi, Zéphis, Fatmé,  Zélis, and Roxane) in the care of a number of black  eunuchs, one of whom is the head or first eunuch. During  the trip and their long stay in Paris (1712-1720), they  comment, in letters exchanged with friends and mullahs, on  numerous aspects of Western, Christian society,  particularly French politics and mores, ending with a  biting satire of the System of John Law. Over time, various  disorders surface back in the seraglio, and beginning in  1717 (Letter 139 [147]), the situation there rapidly  unravels. -- Wikipedia.},
