Sinossi
Excerpt from The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses
My principal view, however, was much more extenlive than to af. Fl! Learners of the French language. I have attempted to render a work, full of ingenious fiction, jult reafoning, important precepts, and poetical imagery, as pleafing in Englilh as it is in French, to thofe who read it as their native tongue: if I have fucceeded, l have not only made a valuable addition to our polite literature, but reu dered my country a much more important fervice, by putting into the hands of our youth one of the few books which genius and learning have dedicated to virtue; which at once captivate the ima gination, inform the underllanding, and regulate the will.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early translation of the classic French novel recounting the adventures of Telemachus, son of Odysseus (Ulysses), the hero of the Trojan War. Originally written in the 17th century by Francois Fenelon, Archbishop of Cambrai, the novel continues to delight readers with its engaging blend of adventure and philosophy. The author uses Telemachus's search for his father as a framework to explore themes such as morality, government, and the nature of true happiness. Telemachus encounters a diverse cast of characters, including the goddess Calypso, who tries to keep him on her island; Mentor, a wise old man who guides Telemachus on his journey; and a host of mythological creatures and historical figures. Through these encounters, Telemachus learns the importance of wisdom, courage, and compassion. He also gains a deep understanding of the challenges and responsibilities of leadership. The book's insights into human nature and the complexities of the world make it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.
