  • 内容简介

    • 《阿比西尼亚国拉塞拉斯王子传》（1759年），后来也称作《拉塞拉斯》，是一部富于道德和哲学思索的小说。为了支付他母亲葬礼的费用，约翰逊在一周内完成了这部作品。

    His chief amusement was to picture to himself that world which he had never seen, to place himself in various conditions, to be entangled in imaginary difficulties, and to be engaged in wild adventures...

    The other great book by the man who wrote the dictionary: This is Dr. Johnson's beautiful, engaging, and ultimately inspiring story of a royal brother and sister who escape the castle and, travelling in disguise, search for a way to feel more useful to society.

    It leads to a years-long adventure amongst poor people and rich men, great intellectuals and merchants, holy men and ruthless warriors. It is an eye-opening experience that shakes the siblings to their core and ultimately turns into the most sublimely wise and moving works that Johnson ever wrote, not to mention a masterpiece of English Literature.

    　　

  • 作者简介

    • 英国作家、文学评论家和诗人。1728年进入牛津大学学习。因家贫而中途辍学。1737年开始为《绅士杂志》撰写文章。以后自编周刊《漫步者》（1750～1752）。经八年的奋斗，终于编成《英语大辞典》（1755）。约翰逊从此扬名。1764年协助雷诺兹成立文学俱乐部，参加者有鲍斯韦尔、哥尔德斯密斯、伯克等人，对当时的文化发展起了推动作用。一生重要作品有长诗《伦敦》（1738）、《人类欲望的虚幻》（1749）、《阿比西尼亚王子》（1759）等。还编注了《莎士比亚集》（1765）。

    Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 [O.S. 7 September]—13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and committed Tory, and has been described as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history".[1] He is also the subject of "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature": James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson.
