A humorous moral fable and satire, Rasselas is the only extended work of fiction by Samuel Johnson. It tells the story of Rasselas, a prince of Abyssinia, who escapes the pleasant but boring Happy Valley of his birth, along with his mentor, Imlac, his sister, Nekayah, and her servant, Pekuah, to travel through Egypt in search of earthly happiness, with inevitable failure. The search for the meaning of existence preoccupied the author throughout his own life, and it is through Rasselas' discoveries that we see reflected Johnson's view of human life as something to be endured rather than enjoyed. When it was first published in 1759 this 'Eastern tales was enthusiastically received, earning Johnson his reputation as a moralist and man of his letters, and it is today regarded as a classic of its time.

Samuel Johnson's Dictionary, published in 1755, marked a milestone in a language in desperate need of standards. No English dictionary before it had devoted so much space to everyday words, been so thorough in its definitions, or illustrated usage by quoting from Shakespeare and other great writers. Johnson's was the dictionary used by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, Wordsworth and Coleridge, the Brontës and the Brownings, Thomas Hardy and Oscar Wilde. This new edition, edited by David Crystal, will contain a selection from the original, offering memorable passages on subjects ranging from books and critics to dreams and ethics.
