Description

1911 Rasselas by Samuel Johnson Philosophy Allegory EGYPT Ethiopia Abyssinia

Most known for his English Dictionary, Samuel Johnson wrote an allegorical story about human emotion and happiness entitled ‘History of Rasselas’. This work encompasses many of Johnson’s own beliefs about slavery and abolition and portrays the ideas of personal freedom as a positive and important position. The book simply tells the story of Rasselas who is looking to escape from his home and experience happiness through world travel.
