Nombre de lecteurs s'accordent à dire qu'il est impossible de faire de la bonne littérature avec de bons sentiments. Samuel Johnson prouve le contraire, avec Rasselas, prince d'Abyssinie, et la réponse qu'il formule à la question suivante: l'humanité est-elle capable ou incapable d'atteindre le bonheur ?

Arborant quelques similitudes avec Candide de Voltaire, Rasselas, prince d'Abyssinie ne fait aucune attaque générale sur la viabilité religieuse pour répondre à cette problématique. Car, à l'inverse de l'oeuvre de Voltaire, celle de Johnson n'est pas une satire, mais un apologue léger voire humoristique.

D'abord intitulé Le Choix de Vie, cette fable (écrite en une semaine par Johnson pour payer l'enterrement de sa mère) narre le parcours initiatique de Rasselas, fils du roi de l'ancienne Éthiopie, enfermé dans une belle vallée jusqu'à ce que l'ordre de succession l'appelle au trône . Las des divertissements factices de l'endroit, il décide un jour de s'échapper, afin de voir le monde et chercher le bonheur. Mais après un séjour en Égypte, où ils rencontrent diverses classes sociales et quelques aventures, il perçoit la futilité de sa quête et retourne brusquement au bercail.

Les premières critiques reconnurent dans Rasselas un travail philosophique et pratique de premier ordre.
