Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, leaves the easy life of the Happy Valley, accompanied by his sister Nekayah, her attendant Pekuah, and the much-travelled philosopher Imlac.

Johnson's tale is not only a satire on optimism, but also an expression of truth about the human mind and its infinite capacity for hope

Одна из величайших фигур своего времени, Томас Бабингтон Маколей на протяжении всей своей жизни вызывал всеобщее восхищение своей прозой, поэзией, политической проницательностью и ораторскими способностями. Одна из самых успешных и увлекательных историй, когда-либо написанных, его "История Англии" завоевала мгновенный успех после публикации ее первых томов в 1849 году и была быстро переведена на большинство европейских языков. Начиная со Славной революции 1688 года и заканчивая концом правления Вильгельма III в 1702 году, она яркой и убедительной прозой освещает время глубокой борьбы по всей Британии и Ирландии. Но в то время как Маколей предлагает захватывающее повествование и опирается на широкий спектр источников, включая исторические свидетельства и художественную литературу, его непреходящий успех также во многом обязан его удивительной способности понимать и объяснять политическую реальность, которая всегда лежала в основе социальных изменений
