The Adventures of Telemachus

Aragon`s book, first published in 1922, is based loosely on Finelon`s Tilimaque , which is, in turn, a continuation of Book IV of the Odyssey . Telemachus and his guide, Mentor, find themselves in an incoherent world governed by Einsteinian laws. Their adventures are bursting with a pastiche of cryptograms, word games, and messages in bottles, all presented to satirically mock the Dadaists` taste for nonsense. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
