A philosophical novel written in the tradition of Persian letters and the Oriental tale by journalist and revolutionary Jean-Louis Carra 1742-93 who among other literary activities contributed to the Encyclopedia of Yverdon. Odazir is a Syrian lord who undertakes a long journey in Europe in search of the truth about contemporary society. The tale is prefaced by a seven-page dedication to the "Grand Counsel in Aleppo: One will be surprised perhaps among the polite Nations of Europe that a Philosopher such as I announce myself was from Syria" and it is followed by a nine-page "Le Vrai Philosophie Poeme" and a philosophical article from the Encyclopedia of Yverdon on the "Alliances de la Nature." Jean-Louis Carra was an early victim of the Reign of Terror. His tale of the Syrian philosopher was surprisingly translated into Russian and published in Moscow in 1793.
