About this episode
Today I'm opening a book that isn't on any bookshelf: the one that is written with each page that transforms us. We travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And every story is a cultural compass.
The story of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, originally titled The Prince of Abyssinia: A Tale, though often shortened to Rasselas, is a fable about happiness and ignorance, written by Samuel Johnson.
