I'm puzzled that The Adventures of Telemachus is claimed to be his most important work. Explication des Maximes des Saints lays down his views on mysticism and the love of God. The book was condemnded by the Vatican and is the basis of his famous and long running quarrel with Bossuet. The contention that he's best remembered for Télémaque seems dubious to me Sumergocognito 21:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
