Rasselas--regarded as Johnson's most creative work--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. The text is based on the second edition as Samuel Johnson revised it.
The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia, originally titled The Prince of Abissinia: A Tale, though often abbreviated to Rasselas, is an apologue about bliss and ignorance by Samuel Johnson. The book's original working title was "The Choice of Life". The book was first published in April 1759 in England. Early readers considered Rasselas to be a work of philosophical and practical importance and critics often remark on the difficulty of classifying it as a novel.
Uncovers African influences on the Western imagination during the eighteenth century, paying particular attention to the ways Ethiopia inspired and shaped the work of Samuel Johnson.
The other great book by the man responsible for the English dictionary - a beautiful, engaging and ultimately inspiring story of a royal brother and sister who escape the castle and, travelling in disguise, embark on a quest to discover how they can be more useful to society. Their adventure leads them amongst poor people and rich men, great intellectuals, merchants, holy men and ruthless warriors. Sublime, wise and moving, this epic, sprawling tale is one of Johnson's finest works.
