| Publisher Description: Depicts a group of characters in a mysterious land, but is more concerned with philosophical dialogue than exotic adventure. The characters debate the customs and thoughts of the Avaites, the people of the imaginary land of Calejava. An eighteenth-century work considered historically significant as it depicts 'for the first time, a religious system which is unequivocally deistic.' (Early Deism in France, C.J.Betts). This is a volume in the Exeter French Texts series. The text, introduction and essential notes are all in French. |
