Rasselas Prince of Abyssinia (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

More about the book

Set in the idyllic valley of Abyssinia, this narrative weaves irony and deep philosophical inquiry through the lens of a Jesuit priest's journals. Johnson, a prominent literary figure and dictionary compiler, delves into the pursuit of happiness, ultimately suggesting that true fulfillment lies beyond earthly existence. The story invites readers to reflect on the choices that lead to happiness and the notion that ultimate contentment is only attainable after death, when one reunites with the divine.
