Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The distinguished English writer's only novel provides a compelling glimpse of his moral views as he assails 18th-century optimism and man's unrealistic estimates of what life has to offer. Rasselas ponders such subjects as romantic love, flights of imagination, the great discoveries of science, and speculations about the meaning of happiness.

Bear in mind this book is about 120 pages long, with a bunch of fill. Still not quite sure why Rasselas is a "world classic"- just seemed like a bunch of philosophical digressions about the ole' meaning of life.

I liked the book, as it was one I would not have read myself. It was for class, and the rest of the calss bought theirs from the campus store (usually more expensive) and I got mine from Amazon and Dover. The class' edition was twice as helpful to read, due in a large part to the in-depth analysis in the intro and other included additional writings.
In all, I think the book should be read by more people as it is one mostly off the modern radar - but if you enjoy reading in-depth or getting background information, go for another edition (our class had a Penguin)
