Purchase options and add-ons

Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, leaves the easy life of the Happy Valley, accompanied by his sister Nekayah, her attendant Pekuah, and the much-travelled philosopher Imlac. Their journey takes them to Egypt, where they study the various conditions of men's lives, before returning home in a 'conclusion in which nothing is concluded'. Johnson's tale is not only a satire on optimism, but also an expression of truth about the human mind and its infinite capacity for hope.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un classico filosofico ancora attuale
    Reviewed in Italy on 15 February 2025
    Verified Purchase
    “The History of Rasselas” di Samuel Johnson è un piccolo capolavoro della letteratura del XVIII secolo che affronta temi universali come la felicità, il destino e le illusioni della vita. Con uno stile elegante e riflessivo, Johnson ci accompagna nel viaggio del principe Rasselas alla ricerca della felicità, ponendo domande ancora oggi attuali.

    Pur essendo stato scritto oltre due secoli fa, il libro è sorprendentemente moderno nelle sue riflessioni. La prosa è raffinata ma accessibile, e la storia scorre piacevolmente grazie ai dialoghi ricchi di saggezza. Lo consiglio a chi ama la letteratura classica e le opere che fanno riflettere.
