History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia

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. Their journey takes them to Egypt, where they study the various conditions of men's lives, before returning home in a 'conclusion in which nothing is concluded'.

Rasselas, Printul Abisiniei, paraseste viata usoara a Vaii Fericite, insotit de sora sa Nekayah, insotitorul ei Pekuah si de mult calatoritul filosof Imlac. Calatoria lor ii duce in Egipt, unde studiaza diferitele conditii ale vietii oamenilor, inainte de a se intoarce acasa intr-o ,,concluzie in care nimic nu este incheiat".
