Las aventuras de Telémaco seguidas de las de Aristonoo

"Las aventuras de Telémaco seguidas de las de Aristonoo" by Fénelon is a didactic novel written between 1694 and 1697. Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, it follows young Telemachus as he searches for his father Ulysses across the Greek world, accompanied by his tutor Mentor—secretly the goddess Minerva in disguise. Through their travels across Sicily, Egypt, Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Crete, the novel presents ethical discourses on the art of governing, containing sharp criticism of authoritarian rule that sparked immediate controversy upon its unauthorized publication in 1699.
