Description

The History of Rasselas Prince of Abyssinia by Samuel Johnson

One of Samuel Johnson’s most famous works and his only novel. Styled as a parable or essay as much as a novel (it has been referred to, at times, as a “moral fable”, a “philosophical romance”, and a “satirical apologue”, it was published in 1759 and was immensely popular from the first. Presents the story of the journey of Rasselas and his companions in search of “the choice of life.” Its charm lies not in its plot, but rather in its wise and humane look at man’s constant search for happiness.
