The History of Rasselas : Prince of Abissinia (Dover Books on Literature & Drama)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The distinguished English writer's only novel provides a compelling glimpse of his moral views as he assails eighteenth-century optimism and man's unrealistic estimates of what life has to offer. Rasselas ponders such subjects as romantic love, flights of imagination, the great discoveries of science, and speculations about the meaning of happiness.
