Rassilas (Folio Society Edition) – Samuel Johnson

Confined in Abyssinia’s utopian, but profoundly monotonous, “Happy Valley,” Prince Rasselas yearns for the real world. With his sister and a wise poet, he escapes to explore human existence and discover the true secret to contentment. They traverse the diverse landscapes of humanity, observing rich and poor, sage and fool, only to learn that perfect happiness is a phantom that eludes all. Samuel Johnson’s philosophical tale is a skeptical, timeless meditation on human desire and the universal pursuit of a fulfilling life.
