Beschreibung
This work presents a captivating collection of three novels from the eighteenth century's later years. In "Rasselas," we have Johnson advocating the world's sufferings. Then there is Horace Walpole locking us away from reality in his "Castle of Otranto." Finally, Beckford transports the readers on his magic carpet to the court of the grandson of Haroun al Raschid in his "Vathek."
