Immerse yourself in the odyssey of Rasselas and Nekayah, two souls who, despite living in the paradisiacal Valley of Bliss, yearn to explore the complexity of human existence. This edition, with a new translation and introductory study by María Luisa Pascual, invites you to reflect on the search for happiness and the legacy of the European Enlightenment tradition, through the wise prose and subtle humor of Samuel Johnson.
Samuel Johnson, often called Dr Johnson, was an English writer and polymath who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, sermonist, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. The work for which he is best known is his 42,733-entry Dictionary of the English Language (1755). For this and other contributions in and to the English language, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has called him "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history".
