A Modern Telemachus

By Charlotte Mary Yonge

Book Overview

A Modern Telemachus is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. It tells the story of a young man named Guy Thorndale, who is the heir to a large estate. Guy is sent away to school and then travels abroad, where he becomes involved in various adventures and learns important life lessons. Along the way, he meets a number of interesting characters, including a group of artists and a young woman named Hester. As he grows and matures, Guy begins to realize the importance of family, duty, and responsibility. The novel is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the search for identity. It is a classic work of English literature that is still widely read and enjoyed today.Madame de Bourke bade the maids carry off the little Jacques, and Ulysse followed; but Estelle, who had often listened with rapt attention to the story of the escape, and longed to feast her eyes on the heroine, remained in her corner, usefully employed in disentangling the embroilment of silks, and with the illustrations to her beloved Telemaque as a resource in case the conversation should be tedious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
