Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia
Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, written by Samuel Johnson in 1759, is a philosophical fable exploring the quest for life, liberty, and happiness. The story follows Rasselas and his companions as they escape the confines of the Happy Valley to seek deeper meaning and fulfillment. Johnson's only work of prose fiction, it addresses enduring themes such as education, colonialism, and the nature of the soul, while examining the tension between solitude and social engagement. Notably, it reflects the complexities of human existence and the uncertainties of reason.
