'The Prince of Abissinia' (later known as 'Rasselas') is a philosophical tale by Samuel Johnson, first published in 1759. This edition comprises Volume 1 of the original two-volume publication. The story follows Rasselas, a prince confined to a seemingly idyllic valley, as he seeks happiness and purpose in the outside world. Accompanied by his wise tutor Imlac and the curious astronomer, Rasselas embarks on a journey filled with encounters and observations of various lifestyles and philosophies. Through these experiences, Johnson explores themes of contentment, the human condition, and the elusive nature of happiness. Written in elegant prose, 'The Prince of Abissinia' remains a relevant and thought-provoking exploration of life’s fundamental questions, offering readers a glimpse into the intellectual landscape of the 18th century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
