Customer Reviews for Paraclete Press The Complete Fenelon

Francois Fenelon was a seventeenth-century French archbishop who rose to a position of influence in the court of Louis XIV.

Later exiled for political reasons, he set out to improve the lot of peasants in his diocese. His letters of counsel and spiritual meditations have found a wide audience for more than three centuries.
