The History of Rasselas Prince of Abissinia by S. Johnson. Almoran and Hamet by Dr. Hawksworth

<p>This volume contains two classic works of 18th-century English literature: Samuel Johnson's The History of Rasselas Prince of Abissinia and John Hawkesworth's Almoran and Hamet. Johnson's philosophical tale follows Prince Rasselas as he journeys beyond the idyllic Happy Valley in search of a life free from sorrow encountering various forms of human misery and folly. Hawkesworth's story complements Johnson's with its own exploration of virtue ambition and the complexities of human nature. Both works offer profound reflections on the human condition making them enduring examples of Enlightenment-era thought and literary artistry.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
