Synopsis

The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses is a novel written by Francois de Salignac de La Mothe-Fenelon in 1699. The novel tells the story of Telemachus, the son of the legendary Greek hero Ulysses, and his journey to find his father. Telemachus sets out on a quest to find his father, who has been missing for many years, and encounters various obstacles along the way. He is guided by the goddess Minerva and learns important lessons about leadership, morality, and virtue. The novel is an allegory for the French court of Louis XIV, and Fenelon uses Telemachus as a symbol of the ideal prince who must rule with wisdom and justice. The Adventures of Telemachus was a bestseller in its time and has been translated into many languages. It is considered a classic of French literature and an important work of moral and political philosophy.Contains Henrietta, Countess Osenvor, And The Histroy Of Jemmy And Jenny Jeffamy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
