Publisher's Synopsis

A study of three novels written about fictitious journeys to little known countries in the early part of the seventeenth century.

Includes novels La Terre Australe Connue by Gabriel Foignt, L'Histoire des Sevarambes by Denis Vairasse D'Alais, and Les Aventures de Telemaque by Fenelon.
