Born

Italy

Giovanni Paolo Marana or sometimes Jean-Paul Marana (1642-1693) was a noble Genoese, who participated in 1672 in an unsuccessful conspiracy for passing the town of Savona under the rule of the Dukes of Savoy, moved to France in 1683.

Marana is the author of Letters Writ by a Turkish Spy, an epistolary novel which judges the history and manners of Europe and especially of France of his time, from an Oriental perspective. This book was published in Italian in 1684 and in French in 1686.

The French writer and philosopher Montesquieu also drew on this book in his Persian Letters, an epistolary novel published in 1721 criticizing the existing absolute monarchy in France at his own time.
