Cover of Charles-Louis de Montesquieu: Meine Reisen in Deutschland 1728 - 1729 (ePUB)

Zwischen April 1728 und Oktober 1729 bereiste der französische Literat, Satiriker und Rechtsphilosoph Charles-Louis de Montesquieu das deutsche Reich. Seine Reiseerlebnisse bieten einen intimen und überraschenden Einblick in die vielfältigen Lebensbezüge und Alltagswelten der Deutschen im Zeitalter des Barock und der Aufklärung. Als Adliger, der zugleich ein gefeierter Schriftsteller war, hatte Montesquieu Zugang zu allen Ständen. Seine Beobachtungen sind stets lakonisch, sprühen dabei vor Witz, Charme und Ironie und porträtieren gekonnt Land und Leute. ‘Die Deutschen sind den Elefanten vergleichbar; zunächst wirken sie schrecklich, doch sobald man sie gestreichelt hat und ihnen schmeichelt, werden sie sanftmütig. Dann braucht man nur noch die Hand auf ihren Rüssel zu legen, und sie lassen einen willig auf ihren Rücken klettern.’
