Description
In the second half of the 17th century, Jean Chardin travelled to Persia to trade in diamonds and publish his travels. His account, which offers a meticulous observation of Persian life, left its mark on his era and continues to be a valuable source for historians. Praised by Rousseau, Voltaire and Montesquieu, it remains a reference today.
