One of the most popular works of the eighteenth century, Lettres d'une P�ruvienne appeared in more than 130 editions, reprints, and translations during the hundred years following its publi cation in 1747. In the novel the Inca princess Zilia is kidnapped by Spanish conquerors, captured by the French after a battle at sea, and taken to Europe. Graffigny's brilliant novel offered a bold critique of French society, delivered one of the most vehement feminist protests in eighteenth-century literature, and announced--fourteen years before Rousseau's Julie, or the New Eloise--the Romantic tradition in French literature.

« AZA ! mon cher Aza ! les cris de ta tendre Zilia, tels qu'une vapeur du matin, s'exhalent & sont dissip&#65533;s avant d'arriver jusqu'&#65533; toi; en vain je t'appelle &#65533; mon secours; en vain j'attends que ton amour vienne briser les cha&#65533;nes de mon esclavage: h&#65533;las ! peut-&#65533;tre les malheurs que j'ignore sont-ils les plus affreux ! peut-&#65533;tre tes maux surpassent-ils les miens ! La ville du Soleil, livr&#65533;e &#65533; la fureur d'une Nation barbare, devrait faire couler mes larmes; mais ma douleur, mes craintes, mon d&#65533;sespoir, ne sont que pour toi...&#65533;
