Encyclopedia Britannica "François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon: French archbishop and writer". Fenelon is perhaps most famous for his treatise on the education of girls published at the end of the seventeenth century. His Dialogues on Eloquence was composed around this same time and was published after his death. Fenelon's pedagogical writings were hugely influential in his day and remained so for decades afterward. This work in particular focuses on public speaking in a church or other religious setting. Some rubbing to the joints binding is firm and secure; a nineteenth-century or earlier name on the title page. Chez Florentin Delaulne hardcover

With multiple engraved plates and a foldable map of Telemachos's travels. Inscription on second front endleaf: ""H. W. Greven. 1840""As the appointed tutor of the Dauphin of France's eldest son Fénelon was charged with guiding the character formation of a future King of France. During this period Fénelon wrote several important works for the specific purpose of guiding his young charge such as the<i> Fables </i>and the <i>Dialogues des Morts</i>. His pedagogical concepts and literary works exerted a lasting influence on French culture.By far the most lasting of Fénelon's works was his <i>Les Aventures de Télémaque</i> a didactic novel telling the story of Ulysses' son Telemachos. Below the surface however it voices an attack on the divine right absolute monarchy the dominant ideology of Louis XIV's France. The work became an immediate best seller both in France and abroad. It was translated into many languages and inspired numerous imitations.Greek mythology - Telemachus - Telemachy - Pylos - Sparta - Ithaca - Odyssey - Ulysses - Penelope - Trojan War - Odysseus - Odyssee - droit divin - French - Louis XIV - antiquity - education - didactic literature - children's literature - Louis de France Modern linen hardcover 17 x 10.3 cm.

1804-20Wien Aloys Doll 1807. 8°. IV S. 6 Bll. 422 S. Mit 1 Titelportr. HLdr. d. Zt. m. goldgeprägt. Rückensch. Telemach berichtet aus dem Land Batika: Dort ist der Kapitalismus überwunden und es herrscht Gütergemeinschaft. Seine Bewohner leben in Freiheit und Frieden weil es dort keine unnützen Reichtümer und trügerischen Vergnügungen gibt.Auch Kriege sind überwunden und werden grundsätzlich in Frage gestellt: 'Ereilt nicht der Tod schon die Menschen früh genug Müssen sie sich noch einander gewaltsam töten' Die Menschen in Bátika lächeln wenn man mit ihnen von Königen erzählt die sich nicht wegen der Grenzen ihrer Länder einigen können. 'Fürchtet man etwa' fragen sie 'daß den Menschen die Erde fehlen wird' Anfang 1699 verlor Fénelon seinen Erzieherposten und als im April sein Télémaque zunächst anonym und ohne seine Zustimmung im Druck erschien wurde er vom Hof Ludwig des XVI. verbannt. Wien, Aloys Doll 1807. unknown
