A review by norimee
The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia by Samuel Johnson
2.5
2500 years ago a Shakyamuni prince secretly left his golden cage palace grounds to seek enlightenment.
250 years ago a colonialist writes about an Abissinian Prince who secretly leaves his golden cage valley to seek enlightenment.
Just that Siddharta Gautama was significantly more successful.
Not a must-read. Kinda ironic, since I read it because it is on the "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" list.
