Nota:
In the form of letters allegedly written by a Frenchman traveling in Germany, Riesbeck exposes for the first time the gap between the French Enlightenment and Germany's backwardness, on the eve of the French Revolution; he severely criticizes the social and religious mores of his country, as well as its political administration; but he also underlines its strengths, particularly in scientific, literary and philosophical matters, to show himself convinced that the German nation possesses the qualities necessary for its regeneration.
