Book Description:

Telemachus was the most widely-read work in 18th-century France, excepting the Bible. It was also among the most influential, since its attempt to combine monarchism with republican virtues was of obvious importance for Montesquieu and Rousseau. It is also a commentary on Louis XIV's rule.
