A Modern Telemachus is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge, first published in 1878. The story follows the life of a young man named Felix, who is sent away to school by his mother, Lady Conway. Felix's father died when he was young, and Lady Conway has been overprotective of her son ever since. However, when Felix returns home from school, he finds that his mother has remarried and has a new family. Feeling neglected and alone, Felix sets out on a journey to find his place in the world and to discover his own identity. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters who help him to grow and mature, including a kindly priest, a reformed thief, and a group of sailors. Through his experiences, Felix learns the value of hard work, perseverance, and loyalty, and eventually finds his way back home to reconcile with his mother and stepfather. A Modern Telemachus is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of family, identity, and personal growth.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.
