The History of Rasselas Prince of Abissinia

An Apologue about Happiness

“Our minds, like our bodies, are in continual flux; something is hourly lost, and something acquired… . Do not suffer life to stagnate; it will grow muddy for want of motion: commit yourself again to the current of the world. ” - Samuel Johnson, The History of Rasselas

Rasselas, son of the King of Abyssinia has everything he could possibly desire except his freedom. He is trapped and wants to know more about the outside world. Imlac has a plan to escape and Nekayah - Rasselas’s sister - decides to join the party of expatriates in their quest to seek happiness.
